About me

A highly motivated individual, looking to break into the software industry.

I pride myself on my work ethic and honesty – I always give 100% to my tasks whether that is working solo or as part of a team, however if I don’t know something I won’t pretend. 
I picked up an interest in software/web development after doing Computing Science in High School, and had that reinforced while working as a Quantity Surveyor.  I have enjoyed learning about different aspects of the never ending landscape that is software development – and have loved applying things that I learn to different mini-projects, one of which being this website!

• At Campion I am responsible for completing tasks such as: managing sub-contractors payments, producing bill of materials, and producing site valuations.

• My time at Campion has furthered my interest in development, as I have been able to see first hand the affects on business process accuracy and efficiency that I can produce through optimizing data tasks via excel sheets, power query and macros.

• My main responsibility was working independently to maintain the cleanliness of an office, kitchen, and communal space.

• Whilst working with AXImprove I also had the opportunity to become acquainted with the Dynamics 365 platform, in which I assisted in creating demo data for an Asset Management solution.

• This was my first large customer facing role, in which I dealt with hundreds of customers each day. I accredit this to heavily developing my interpersonal, and communication skills – especially in high stress environments.

• On multiple occasions I was left as the senior member of staff in charge of closing the store.
