I'm a highly motivated junior Software Developer who places clients' needs and user experience at the forefront of every project I undertake. With years of experience as an assistive technology user and having collaborated closely with developers in previous roles, I naturally put myself in the shoes of both clients and end users. I'm passionate about solving problems and building tools that make a meaningful difference in people's lives. This combination of enthusiasm and empathy makes me a valuable asset to future employers, colleagues, and clients.
The four passions which underpin my approach to software development:
Accessibility
My recent work history has focused on inclusion and accessibility in the digital world. I'm deeply passionate about ensuring that the widest possible user group can interact with the projects I work on.
Functionality
When developing projects, I always consider what the experience will be like for the end user. While attractive design and special features can elevate a project, they're meaningless if the product doesn't fulfill the user's needs in an intuitive way.
Engagement
I believe every project should be engaging for users. This engagement might come from simply saving time or making tasks easier. Other projects become engaging through attractive, polished interfaces, while some capture interest through interactive elements or playful components.
Efficiency
I work tirelessly to develop my skills, enabling me to tackle increasingly complex projects while becoming more efficient. I strive not only to increase my speed but also to ensure I write the most efficient, semantically clean code possible.
