Profile
Hello I am a web developer based in Surrey UK with several IT based qualifications. I have completed several IT courses, a Software Skills Bootcamp with Just IT and a Coding Traineeship with IT Career Switch, I also have a Microsoft Certification in Introduction To programming using HTML and CSS (obtained in my Coding Traineeship) and a degree in Information Systems. The two IT courses that I have completed are where the bulk of my IT knowledge comes from. During those courses I learnt skills in several different programming languages used for creating efficient web development based systems. With these skills I have built 5 different projects in total. I am a hard working and popular individual and have a reputation for being reliable, punctual, and also being available to cover early and late shifts at very short notice. I hold a full UK driving licence with no points.
