About Me

Highly motivated computer science graduate with a strong academic foundation and a passion for technology with a specified interest in application development, and a keen interest in test automation. With close to two years of software development experience, and experience in test automation, I have developed excellent problem-solving skills, adaptability, and a strong work ethic.

Currently working as a Software Quality and Testing Engineer specialising in Automation at a Big 4 firm, I have a strong interest in application development and have been continuing to develop my skills in this area, whilst working in a test automation role.

Outside of tech, I'm a big sports enthusiast. I used to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which I found both challenging and rewarding. When I'm not coding, you'll likely find me watching football or catching the latest UFC event. These interests help me maintain a good work-life balance and spend valuable time with my friends and family.

Projects

Finder

Final Year University Project

Finder is an innovative iOS application that combines the ease of item exchange with the engaging experience of swiping, similar to Tinder. This app allows users to swipe through items they are interested in buying. When they swipe on an item they like, the app enables the buyer to start a chat with the seller directly. The items are filtered based on user preferences for category and range, which can be adjusted anytime.
