About
Hello! I am an artist and software developer.
I've been coding since secondary school, dabbling in java and web skills before getting a First Class BSc in Digital Arts Computing from Goldsmiths, UoL, and then expanding my skills with further formal training in C# from Sparta Global Ltd. I'm an experienced developer and have been working with the Civil Aviation Authority for the last 3 years.
On the side, in effort to fuel the more creative parts of my psyche, I've been part of a London artist collective; In.Grid, as well as dipping into my own practice of wire automata sculptures (mainly floral).
Regarding development, my skills include C#, DotNet, MVC with EF, Azure, some Automated Testing (selenium), React.js (using StoryBook, Jest, ESLint, SonarCloud), and git. I'm a hard worker with a keen eye and care for creating good quality work that is accessible for all.
In regard to practical arts, I have experience in acrylic, gouache, oil paints, pottery, crochet, sewing, darning, weaving, as well as the physical computing side: raspberry pi, arduino, madMapper, MaxMSP, Projection mapping, 3D printing, and blender.
