About Me

Ambitious junior software developer. New to the exciting world of programming. I have garnered
a love for coding, finding solutions and being creative.

I have switched careers a bit late in my life and I'm extremely excited to start this new journey.
Taking this leap certainly has caused some chaos and uncertainty, but has given me the will to
do whatever it takes to succeed.
