About Me

Code, data, design, cats.

Code

I learnt to code with SheCodes from Jan-Nov 2025, using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap/Responsive Design in VS Code. I have built applications using JavaScript including React.js, Python, APIs, and AI tools. I manage code via my GitHub account and host SEO-friendly sites on Netlify.

Before I learnt to code, I assumed I did not have the right skills to be a Developer - but I got curious when a colleague suggested it might suit me, and it's since become something I love! I get a lot of satisfaction from building practical, useful websites and applications.

Work

I've worked in Research Ops since 2009, developing processes from the ground up through to implementation. I do a lot of data handling and process/sytem development and implementation (See 'Data'). A favourite work project was designing and implementing a management system for multiple teams using REDCap. That is where my interest in coding began.

Data

I use SPSS and R to handle data, and I am hoping to apply Python soon as well. I have a certification in Data Analysis from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, including data structures for business systems, requirements gathering, class diagrams and normalisation.

Design

I have a degree in Graphic Design from the University for the Creative Arts. I understand the fundamentals of good design and appreciate things that look clean and well-crafted.

Personal

When I am not coding, I enjoy hanging out with my cats and eating good food. I currently live in Bristol in the southwest of England in the UK.
