About me

I am a software engineer and enjoy solving problems, learning about modern technologies and the asset management field I apply it within.

I completed my bachelors degree in Banking, Finance, and Management at Loughborough University in 2017. During my third year, I had used visual basics during an internship with UBS. My introduction to software development sparked a passion that I am continuing to pursue. In 2018 I graduated from The University of St Andrews with a Master's degree in Computer Science. My blog is now a project that will support my development as I document what I learn in and around my job as an engineer.
