I currently work for a small software company in Weston-super-Mare with some great products in engineering/insurance and retail, specialising in VB.NET, C#, and Flutter.
I learnt to code during lockdown, though my background is quite different. As a child I wanted to be a tennis player. I competed at many tournaments, becoming one of the best players in the country, and I still play at a semi-professional level. At university I studied classical music, and currently play in a number of renowned orchestras and bands.
I have thoroughly enjoyed learning to code and bring to it the same level of enthusiasm and pursuit of learning that I fostered in my previous aspirations. Now a new journey has begun, and I cannot wait to see where it will take me.

Tennis coaching has taught me many things. Teaching is the opposite of learning; thus, by becoming a better teacher, you are also becoming a better learner. Through this experience, I have fostered the qualities of humility, discipline, creativity, patience, and humour.

While studying, I joined toastmasters, where I learnt the art of Public Speaking. I went on to co-create infoEve, a small community-based DIY Ted Talks.
Last season my team "The Excel Emu's" won the league, while winning twenty eight games in a row.
Since I was a child I have practiced Sahaja Yoga meditation. It has become an integral part of my life, helping to keep me balanced and to grow.
