About me

I'm a passionate software engineer with a keen interest in backend development, data-structures and algorithms.

I will not bore you with the generic skills that every developer bolsters on their CV, but I am a quick learner and when passionate about a project I will go above and beyond to ensure it is completed to the highest standard.

I always try to contribute to team discussions and learn from others, as I believe that is the best way to grow as a developer.
