Summary
I am a highly co-operative and creative individual who loves working with other people to deliver the best possible product for any project. I have developed a firm interest in software development since I was in year 7 after reading a short biography of Bill Gates, and self-studied C++ since. I have created many private projects through my teenage years all the way to University, creating many arcade games and studying other languages such as Java to expand my field of knowledge - with one of my proudest achievement in my teens being earning silver CREST award from British Science Association by acting as a Lead Game Developer for a group project, using C# with Unity and assigning the roles to put together a rhythm game to present.
I have made many apps, shipped a total of 3 applications into the Google Play store to feedback my personal development skills, and even gained experience in the industry with NatWest and FDM in an AGILE work environment, and I am confident now that regardless of any future hurdles, I have the necessary tools and mentality to overcome them and push myself and my team forward. I firmly believe in myself that I can become a strong asset to any team I am in.

- Fixed over 15 accessibility bugs, to help those who may struggle with navigating the app due to certain needs - mostly making sure the TalkBack feature works properly and is concise on the labeling of the CTAs and texts.
