Summary

Currently a student at Queen’s University Belfast Studying BEng Software Engineering where I have gained both a mix of technical and practical skills which I will list later. Alongside what was previously mentioned, I have developed a wide range of core soft skills through my experience in working through retail, such as customer service, teamworking skills and time management.

Both of these experiences have been invaluable in teaching me real world skills and the importance of having not only a practical mindset but a technical one as well.
