Bio

Tech Experience

Software Developer at Cyberhawk

As a Software Developer at Cyberhawk, I have been involved in a team that is building new software using modern technologies and best practices. I am continuing my work with PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, and React while contributing to our internal documentation and planning processes.

Junior Software Developer at Cyberhawk

As a Junior Software Developer at Cyberhawk, I developed and maintained software to process and display drone-gathered data for clients like NIE and SEPD. Collaborating with a skilled team, I built features, resolved issues, and documented solutions using technologies like Laravel, React, PHP, and Agile methodologies.

Junior Software Developer at Rabbies Tours

As a Developer at Rabbie's, I leveraged my deep understanding of business operations to build and enhance systems and developed website features using PHP, JavaScript, and JQuery. I worked with tools and frameworks like Laravel, Git, AWS, Cypress, and various Agile methodologies, while continually expanding my technical expertise.

Developer (Volunteer Position) at Rustic Tours

In this role, I developed a website from scratch, transforming it into a fully functional content management system by collaborating with the Rustic tour team to gather requirements, create designs, and architect both public and admin pages using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, and Laravel. Unfortunately, due to COVID, Rustic Tours had to pause their business operations.

IT Support Techincian at Rabbies Tours

In my IT role at Rabbie's, I managed device procurement and maintenance, phone system migrations, employee system credentials, office setups, and moves, and developed a mandatory Cyber Security training program for all staff.

Open University: BSc Computing and IT with Design (part complete)

I pursued this degree for three years but discovered my true passion in coding. Determined to follow this path, I began teaching myself programming while working at Rabbie's Tours. They supported my journey by allowing me to develop my skills further while in my IT Technician role and later my Junior Software Developer.
