Hobbies and Interests

Living a healthy lifestyle is imporant to me so I try to keep active, one of the ways I do this is by playing football often. I play for an 11-a-side Sunday league team and a 6-a-side team that I run called "AnyGuys" in a local 6-a-side league.

I like to try keep my programming skills up to date, one of the ways I do this is by using sites like Codecademy where I can practice using languages and becoming more proficient or try pick up a new language.

Skills
  • Asp.Net Core/C#
  • MongoDb
  • Java
  • Python
  • HTML/CSS/Bootstrap
  • Javascript/React.js
  • Basic understanding of how to solve Supervised Machine learning problems using Python and Scikit-learn
  • Android Studio: Java and SQLite

Learning to use new languages from scratch is not a problem as I feel my experience with programming has helped me to understand the elements of a programming language and how to use them.
