I am an experienced business analyst with 10+ years of industry experience, wishing to change my career to become a software developer. I have undertaken several web development projects using PHP & SQL, I am currently attending a software bootcamp using JavaScript, and I am learning C# independently.
I have been interested in coding ever since my undergraduate degree, where I took several modules of software development and web development, and (more recently) in my postgraduate degree, where I took modules in web development, and database design.
