Adrian Havenga-Bennett • Edited

Hello, everyone!

My name is Adrian and I'm an ex-Londoner, ex-small-town-South African now living in Pembroke, Wales. I started my programming journey back in 2016 with game development (C++ and UE4). That didn't really work out. But I found web development in early 2018 and got hooked.

I enrolled in a full stack (HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, Bootstrap, Python, Flask, Django, MongoDB, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Heroku) Bootcamp in February 2019 and finished in August 2020 (my projects can be found on my Github page: github.com/AdrianHavengaBennett) and am awaiting my graduation diploma.

I am continuing to learn through Udemy courses and would really like to get some real-world experience under my belt as I am job hunting (career change from 7+ years schedule management and logistics), so I figured contributing to open source (#hacktoberfest brought me here!) would be a great learning experience - if I could ever find actual beginner-friendly issues, with clear documentation, to work on. If anyone has any insights, I'm all ears!

I am currently extending my JS knowledge by learning about Node.

Looking forward to chatting with you all!

Happy coding!
