I'm currently working as a Full Stack Software Developer at Blue Frontier, where I get to combine my passion for both front-end and back-end development.
My day-to-day involves crafting clean, efficient solutions using React and React Native - technologies I absolutely love working with! I've had the opportunity to work on some amazing projects, from building responsive web applications to creating cross-platform mobile apps that our clients love.

Joules - Sales Assistant
Joules
2017 - 2020
During my time at Joules, I discovered my love for problem-solving and creating great customer experiences - skills that have proven invaluable in my software development career.

I maintained impressive metrics with a 70%+ conversion rate and consistently achieved a Units Per Transaction of 2.0 or higher. What I'm most proud of was developing the ability to work independently while still being a strong team player, managing everything from merchandising to customer service with enthusiasm and attention to detail.
This experience taught me the importance of clear communication and understanding user needs - principles I now apply to software development.
