Summary

My degree in Computer Science from the University of Nottingham allowed me to develop strong problem-solving and teamwork skills as well as learning a large array of programming languages. My experience in the service industry has allowed me to become skilled in customer interactions and time-sensitive problem solving. During my time at university, I was able to explore several areas of computing and took an interest in software development as well as UI design which I would like to pursue further.
