Hi, I'm Mike!

I'm a software developer who loves dabbling with code, learning new things and exploring the ever-changing landscape of technology.

I've been coding for years, but only recently decided to turn it into a career, having spent 16 years in the NHS as a Paramedic. My downtime on shift was often spent learning to code, studying into the small hours! I took the plunge and completed a Skills Bootcamp in Software Development through Northcoders, which was a great opportunity to consolidate the learning I'd already undertaken, whilst also filling the gaps I had in my knowledge.

Following the bootcamp, I started work as a Junior Developer, where I am enjoying ample opportunities to explore other technologies such as PHP, WordPress and React Native.

Technologies

This list is not exhaustive, but features most of the technologies I've used, either in a professional or educational setting.
