Software engineering

With 3 years of industry experience, I've utilised top software technologies to develop many digital products. Committed to continuous learning, I've taken part in external training courses to familiarise myself with new technologies with the intent to upskilling myself and strengthening my knowledge.

I recently read 'Hello World' by Hannah Fry. 📚

data engineering

Whilst working, I've had the privilege of working closely with people of various disciplines, including data analysts. This has ignited my interest in data engineering, where my self-learning journey has made me better aware of the evolving landscape of the industry, and the pivotal role data engineering plays in shaping it.

Some resources I have used to further expand my knowlege include Udemy and Roadmap. Learning about concepts outside of my discipline has made me a better software engineer - understanding the mindset of my colleagues means that we can deliver more impactful products for our end users.

I am currently reading 'Lying Numbers' by Hugh Barker. 📚
