About Me
I am a junior front-end developer from London who recently graduated from General Assembly's Software Engineering immersive course.
Prior to the course, I worked as a marketing professional with a demonstrated history of working in the financial services, logistics and hospitality industry. I possess skills in direct marketing, email marketing, social media, and content creation.
After 10 years, my career interests evolved and I pursued my love for technology and became a Software Engineer.
I'm currently looking for a junior web developer role within a supportive team in central London.
