About me
By day, you'll usually find me knee-deep in Ruby, happily wrangling code. But I’m always up for a little adventure into other programming languages—if it has syntax, I’m interested! Learning new languages and paradigms keeps me on my toes (and occasionally scratching my head).
I call Taunton, in the beautiful southwest of the UK, home. When I’m not behind a screen, I’m either out riding the waves or wandering the countryside. Basically, if it’s outdoors, I’m in.
Background
I was born and raised in Wimbledon (I'm a big AFC wimbledon fan!).
I originally studied International Business at Plymouth University. That allowed me to mix my studies with one of my main passions surfing. Once I graduated I moved back to London to work in advertising - working with large financial clients (I organised the advertising for the Oxford Cambridge boat race).
In 2015, I decided that I wanted a change and studied web development at Makers Academy in London. Since then I have been working as a software developer and have been loving it!
