What I have experience in

Front-end web development

I've gained exposure to the broad range of frameworks and libraries used in front end web development. I've used Vue.js with Node.js to interact with APIs. I'm also familiar with libraries such as Bootstrap 5 allowing websites to be quickly styled.

VB.Net and C#

I work in production environments on systems built using VB.Net. My role has me responding to feature requests and bug fixes for users. In addition to this, I'm a developer working on a Xamarin app, implementing new features for users. Working on these systems has made me understand object oriented programming.

Git and Azure DevOps

Being on a development team, I use source control on a daily basis. I have knowledge of key Git features such as pull requests and branches. In Azure, I have to interact with build pipelines to deploy our Xamarin app to end users. Using Git integrations in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, I've been able to increase my productivity when developing.

Microsoft Power Platform

Through supporting Dynamics 365 CRM in the business, I have experience with Power Apps and Power Automate. I have perform development work on adding features to model driven apps using web resources and plugins. Through creating Power Automate flows I have improved the efficiency of business processes.

My work

Who am I?

Software Engineer Degree Apprentice from Buckinghamshire, UK

I am a developer currently progressing towards completing my apprenticeship. I have a strong passion for coding and hopefully will progress into more senior development roles as my skills grow. I enjoy finding ways to use content learned in tutorials to consolidate my learning, such as starting small projects myself.

Working with other developers in a production environment is extremely helpful for growing my skills. I now have the exposure to working in an agile way, using Jira and Azure DevOps with other developers.
