About

Hello! I recently completed an intensive coding traineeship, where I built a strong foundation in web development.

My journey into coding began in September 2024, sparked by a conversation with friends about how coding is becoming a bigger part of school curriculums. It brought back memories of creating websites for my GCSE IT course—and how much I genuinely loved it.

That moment inspired me to dive into the unknown and challenge myself in the world of programming. Since then, I've learned a great deal and continue to grow as a developer, constantly sharpening my skills and embracing the problem-solving nature of coding.

I'm excited to share some of my projects and skills with you here. Feel free to explore, please reach out if you'd like to connect!
