I am a Junior but well-practised Software Developer. I have a great passion for learning, especially in topics oriented around Software Development, Networks and Backend Engineering. I am constantly striving to learn more whilst pushing myself to explore new technologies!
This job involved ensuring customer satisfaction was very high! Every car had to be cleaned meticulously to ensure the highest standard was achieved. We often spent a lot of our time in commercial workspace environments and so remaining professional was key to the service we provided. I enjoyed working here a lot because of both the independent and teamworking aspects. On many occasions we would find ourselves working on a car in a group so communication was key to ensure that no part was missed nor any unnecessary work was undertaken!
Working at Ashford Self Storage was my first taste of working in the real world. I spent a lot of time interacting with the customers throughout the day whilst also maintaining the cleanliness and presentability of the site. I was in charge of making sure the loading bay was clear and safe to use in addition to landscaping out the front and sides of the warehouse building!
This project is a templated website designed for a client that needed a platform to advertise his clearance services. The website is made using Bootstrap and JQuery along with PHP for some of the backend features. I am hosting the site along with its E-Mail accounts on my own web and mail servers which guarantees a near 100% uptime!
This one is more of a personal project that allows me to learn more about and make use of a documented API. I will be staging the App as a website so that it can easily be accessed. I will also be trying to make a divide between the use of server and client side processing due to the limited resources I have available!
This project is probably one of the largest so far! It is designed for flight sim users to be able to brief and track their flights as well as giving them the ability to fetch relevant routes and charts with just the click of a button. The project is a part of my A-Level course and so is heavily documented at all stages throughout the analysis, design and production cycle. It has taught me a lot about the agile development ideology, something that will be really useful to apply to some of my next projects!

In my spare time, I will often find myself working on some of my smaller projects such as websites for my friends which I host on my own rented cloud servers. As well as this, I am quite interested in reading about system exploits as it is something that I can apply to my own work in order to keep it safe and secure.
I am also an avid member of the VATSIM flight simulation community and spend my evenings interacting with the many members that it holds. I operate as a virtual air traffic controller and will also find myself flying on the network in some of the many events they host each week.
From 2015 to 2020 I was also in the 'Royal Air Force Air Cadets' which taught me a lot of leadership, communication and problem solving skills. Whilst there, I partook in the Bronze Duke Of Edinburgh award and joined the squadron band, both of which were tough but rewarding experiences. Throughout the year we would attend many parades for which our drill and discipline standard had to be impeccable.
