I graduated with a 1st class Masters degree, with honors, in Mechanical Engineering. I believe that from my strong engineering foundation I possess good problem-solving skills. I also take pride in my ability to communicate and my enthusiastic personality.
I have recently completed the Software Engineering Immersive course at General Assembly. Now, I am looking to apply my coding ability, along with my enthusiasm, to a Web Developer role.
Projects
- PacManThis was my first significant coding project. HTML, CSS & JS were used to create the game. The game was built starting with a basic grid and developed using extensive game logic and interaction with DOM elements. The hardest logic involved getting the Ghosts to chase Pacman and then run away once PacMan had eaten a pill.
- Bored GamesThe project was focused on consuming an API and using RESTful routes. We consumed a board game API with very useful data allowing us to display a search page for board games which by the number of players, genre, length of time, game mechanics (ie. dice), price and more. However, the API only gave us 100 games for free. We also used the CSS framework Bulma.
- Lost The PlotThe idea for this app was for users to share space in their garden for other users to grow food in, joining the sustainable food movement growing in London right now. This was my first group project extensively using Git to collaborate on the project. We started with the backend by using test-driven development to create RESTful routes for our API. Connecting the front end and using react. Most of my work was on the backend, searching using React-mapbox, styling and the homepage.
