Description

I co-founded a software company, most of my time has been spent building a web application. My co-founder and I designed it and built it ourselves. It is a full stack web app with user authentication and a large database, the process of building it from scratch has taught me so much about the in's and out's of web development. I've gained in depth knowledge about the technologies I've used, discovering all the amazing things they can do, as well as their quirks.

Software Developer

Halo Service Solutions

August 2021 - August 2023

Description

This was my first job after graduating university. Before this I'd only had experience coding small personal projects, so I learnt at Halo how to work with large, complex codebases. I learnt lots about the web itself, and how the apps and websites we use daily work behind the scenes. Gaining this knowledge on the structure and architecture of web applications was hugely beneficial to my personal projects, it enabled me to build full stack web applications from scratch.
