Projects
Lets Meet There
Designed and built a service that takes flight searches from different origins and combines them to provide you a simple one-page view of all the destinations you could meet.
The app is created in React with Redux, with testing using Jest; data is leveraged from several Skyscanner Api calls.
The live site was at letsmeetthere.co.uk, however this no longer operational due to restrictions in the Skyscanner Api.

Constructed and implemented the back-end; designing the data flow from the SQL database through to the state management system in the front-end.

About Me
I'm a full-stack software developer living in London, experienced in Javascript and it's related technologies; React, Typescript, Redux, Node.js, Gatsby, Express, PostgreSQL, Graphql and MongoDB.
In a previous life I was a ACA qualified Chartered Accountant until I realised that the most enjoyable part for me was trying to be clever/lazy automating data entry via VBA macros and that to move beyond coding for microsoft excel, it was time for a career change. Since then I've done a lot of self motivated learning, developed two development-ready projects and become competent to contribute with my coding skills in a full-time developer position.
In my free time I enjoy hiking, reading and going to the gym just enough to stop my body taking the exact shape as my office chair.
