A mid-life career change to coding...

  • 👩‍💻️ I’m a Northcoders Bootcamp Graduate

  • 🌱 I’m also interested in rock climbing, brewing & fermenting and barista skills

  • 💽️ I’m looking to join a great team, to build on my skills as a developer

  • ☁️ I've been learning to provision all sorts of cloud architecture on AWS, and I'm now researching Azure and Google Cloud

  • 🃏 I really enjoyed learning about Test-Driven Development, and I got far too excited about building test suites

  • 💬 Other things you might ask me about:

    • my previous career as an Attorney
    • having two vicars for parents
    • my work with Manchester Trans Liberation Assembly
    • the brief period of time that I ran a village pub

What am I up to?

Gaming

I've just started playing Fallout 4 (again!)

I've just finished The Witcher 3 (took me long enough!)

Climbing

I'm primarily indoor Bouldering, and I try to climb 3-4 times a week. I'm currently pushing myself to complete V5 grade climbs, having become more comfortable with V3 and V4 climbs

Brewing/Fermentation

I'm currently enjoying the Kimchi that I made with some Wild Garlic and Three-Cornered Leek that I foraged on a walk along the Mersey, in Didsbury. The fermentation process took longer than expected, at 15 days.

TV

Working my way through the Dimension 20 series - currently on Fantasy High: Sophomore Year

Coding Projects

I spend my Mon-Fri, 9-5, working on my coding projects:

  • In order to learn python I have decided to try to make a playable CLI version of one of my favourite board games 'Machi Koro' - it's a WIP, here.

  • I am debugging, maintaining, and improving my Discord Bot project, which includes custom APIs, a Discord Bot, firestore database management, interactions with Google Forms API, and a React.js front-end.

I've also taken on the task of 'sprucing up' an existing website for a church - I am constrained by many restrictions (not least that I'm not allowed to change the host, nor move away from WordPress) but you can take a look at my handiwork here, and feel free to give me some pointers (I'm always keen to learn more frontend skills!)
