Experienced Project Manager and Full Stack Developer

About Me

An adaptable, collaborative and solution-oriented problem solver with 13 years experience of planning and executing a variety of projects. Eager to continuously improve, I recently graduated from the School of Code Software Engineering bootcamp where I developed a strong fundamental understanding of the software development lifecycle, and enhanced my ability to have technical conversations with software developers, and translate technical jargon for non-technical stakeholders. I am driven by the opportunity to merge all my knowledge in order to drive impactful outcomes.
