I love logical problem-solving and find it very rewarding to build and improve apps and sites. After 7 years working in PR for tech brands such as Eventbrite and Yelp, I decided to go through the looking glass and become a developer myself.

I have just graduated from an intensive 12 week development bootcamp at [Makers Academy] and I am looking forward to finding my first job as a developer. I love working as part of a team, and I want to find a company that embraces Agile methodologies and TDD, and where I can keep developing my skills while contributing to the codebase.

Senior Consultant: December 2006—December 2011

During my time in public relations, I led international campaigns for a wide variety of companies, often having to familiarise myself with their sectors. Some tech companies I've worked for during my time there: Yelp, 9flats (competitor of Airbnb), Solocal (web solutions for SMB), BDNA (IT Asset Management Software).

- Game of Thrones - I organised a quiz night last June where guests where encouraged to fancy dress, and build a model of the iron throne using toothpicks, play-doh and kitchen foil. I presented the evening in costume, drafted the quiz questions, prepared large banners with the House's sigils, and promoted the event online. People were very happy!

- Juicing - that lovely apple, pineapple, celeri and kale juice... nutritious and delicious!
- Excel sheets - I use them to organise my trips, handle people's feedback, organise parties... for a lot of different things. The day I spent fiddling with Google sheet formulas and forms to create a sales leads email generator was the day I realised I really needed to get serious about learning to code.
