Aspiring Software Engineer | Python • Web Dev • Django • Data | Creating Practical Projects & Growing My Skills
Backend-focused Software Engineer with hands-on experience building Python applications, working with relational databases, and developing web backends with Django. I bring 7+ years of enterprise IT infrastructure experience — supporting 80 + client sites, servers, networks, and automated deployments — providing a strong grounding in systems thinking, reliability, and methodical debugging that transfers directly into backend and DevOps-style engineering work. Comfortable with Git-based workflows, command-line tooling, and Docker, and experienced using AI-assisted tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to accelerate development, debugging and documentation. Completed a project-based Software Engineering bootcamp with the University of Manchester and HyperionDev, covering Python, OOP, data structures, full-stack fundamentals and applied AI-assisted workflows.
A full-stack Django web app that generates smart, personalised packing lists for business trips. Enter your destination, climate and meeting type and get a categorised checklist instantly. Built with Python, Django, and SQLite.
Personal CV site built with HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. Fully responsive and hosted on GitHub Pages.
The Speedy Spectator is a news application built as part of my Software Engineering capstone project. It allows journalists to write and publish articles, editors to review and approve content, and readers to subscribe to journalists and publishers and receive notifications when new content is approved.
