Transitioned to Software Engineering from a successful career in Operations, which has given me a thorough understanding of process optimisation and data-driven decision-making, I have expanded my tech skills through Makers Academy’s Software Development bootcamp. At Makers I enhanced my skills in compiled languages such as Golang, solidifying my expertise in TDD, data structures, containerisation and concurrency. Moreover, interpreted languages like Python and JavaScript have empowered me to tackle full-stack development challenges. As a Generative AI QA, I'm currently assessing and rating AI-generated code snippets. With a passion for technology and continuous learning, I am eager to apply my technical competence and operational expertise to drive positive change in the tech industry.
