A highly motived and newly trained Full Stack Web Developer, graduate of the competitive Founders & Coders bootcamp. Previous to Founders & Coders I was running the service kitchen at TRADE, a highly rated independent cafe in central London. I have strong technical skills, with a 1st Class Physics degree from Durham University, alongside the more focused learning at Founders & Coders. Conscientious and broad minded, I have experience working and communicating effectively with a wide range of people, having volunteered in Zambia, Palestine and Calais.

- Nazareth Open Tourism Platform: A graduate project developed with the Nazareth Cultural and Tourism Association. An open backend to help support and facilitate the creation of apps and websites aimed at developing tourism in Nazareth.
This are all projects I was one of multiple (2 or 4) lead developers on, during my time at founders and coders
- EasyNaz: A Founders & Coders project developed with Almanarah organisation, to help identify accesible services in Nazareth Github
- Volunteer app: Another project devised by me and a fellow student to help connect volunteers with organisations looking for help. Github
- Game Of Thrones API: First project using API's, made after 3 weeks of web development learning!
As someone who believes that there's always more to learn, I'm often trying to teach myself something new. Technologies I'm currently improving on:
I have made a few small project with react, and I'm really enjoying learning it, along with redux
Developing on top of the data analytics knowledge of it I developed during university
I have only heard good things, and it appears this stack is going to become more and more common, so I plan on getting to grips with it in the coming months
- Took part as a student in a highly selective 16 week intensive web development course, which reignited my love for software development and problem solving.
- I am currently helping deliver the second iteration of the course in Nazareth as a mentor, facilitating the learning of local and international students. This involves planning and delivering content and working alongside and co-ordinating with other mentors
- Alongside this I am working with another graduate of the first course on the Nazareth Open Tourism Platform (see Projects)
- With a strong focus on peer led learning, I learnt how to learn and teach better, and more productively, through working alongside people above and below me in skill level.
- Working with students with lower levels of English really forced me to become a much clearer communicator of complex, technical concepts.
- Founders and Coders has easily been one of the most formative and enriching experiences of my life - I took part in the first cohort outside of London, in Nazareth, the largest Arab city in Israel, and it has expanded my horizons almost infinitely.
