Hello, and welcome to my site
A little about me...
You appear to have stumbled onto my personal site. Welcome! My name is James, and I'm a Junior Software Engineer / Automated QA Engineer based in the UK. I bring a positive attitude, hard work ethic, and eagerness to improve to everything I do. I’m now looking for a new role where I can use my skillset to flex my creative passions while also continuing to develop and grow as a software engineer.
My current experience includes spending 3 years at YuLife working as an Automated QA Engineer and a Web Developer, as well as 6 months working at Witekio as a Junior Web Developer. I enjoyed both opportunities and learned a lot, but the time has come for the next step in my software engineering adventure.
But what is any super hero story without a good origin story? Before being a software engineer, I spent several years working in the television industry as a graphics operator and then manager. It was fun, but I found myself wanting something more to satisfy my creative urges. I’d always had a passion for technology as well as problem solving, from simple games to completing a Rubik’s Cube, and so I left my career and enrolled on General Assembly’s intensive software engineering course. It was a scary move, but since taking that step, I've never looked back, and am keen to keep marching forwards into the crazy world of coding.
