About me
Hey I'm Sami, a hardworking and energetic developer trained in Full-Stack Development at the School of Code.
My background in science taught me to be curious, logical and resilient when faced with new challenges. During my Chemistry degree I used these skills to contribute to two research projects, one of which was published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry.
After my degree I wanted to further develop my professional experience, so I worked in a number of roles, ranging from sales to childcare. I always approached each role with a positive attitude to provide and gain as much as I could.
The variety of experience helped me to recognise what I valued most from a role, something that would continuously challenge me, have an impact and allow me to learn and grow throughout. My search took me to tech and after learning with School of Code I have been dedicated to building my techinical and personal skills as a developer.
Outside of work I am very sociable and keep myself busy through my hobbies which include sports, cooking, volunteering and music.
