Full Stack Developer
I am very passionate and enthusiastic about my career in teaching Computer Science A-level, GCSE and full stack (front-end and back-end) web development. To pursue opportunities to be creative and artistic, combined with technical and logical challenges. I enjoy updating my technical skills through the use of O'Reilly Safari Books, YouTube and many other computer resources.
In August 2018, I joined the 'Development Professional Programme' with Just IT which has enabled me to enhance and improve my full stack web development skills and talents. This self-funded course has been the first step in the journey towards full stack developer technologies. I also have over fifteen years experience in various positions within the education sector and I am now focussing on teaching A-level and GCSE Computer Science as well as teaching full stack development with many computing technologies and programming languages.
As well as focussing on educating adults and children in computing, maths and English on previous assignments I can also offer a wealth of achievements, talents and strong qualifications.
I have practised computer languages within the C family, for many years, that are closer to the computer machine level and assembly language.
Accumulated expertise in many of the latest web-based technologies and able to implement these in front-end and back-end deployments or a combination of both.
I enjoy using a wealth of front-end skills within a wide range of Bootstrap deployments including the most recent triangular trifecta specifications.
I am also interested to advance my strong skills and interest in a range of low-level accelerator computer hardware technologies for more recent technological requirements (IoT, robotics, AI and financial algorithms).
Strong communication skills (with and without technology), highly flexible as well as exuding a strong professional attitude and work ethic to gain positive results.
