I started designing websites and doing a little bit of basic dev work right back in 2006 when phpBB boards and forum signatures were flavour of the week. I studied computer science at college and fell into a career essentially unrelated to developing/designing at all.
Up until last year I was working freelance in my spare time, mainly making Wordpress sites. Unsatisfied with my career, I left.. and threw myself in to improving my knowledge of modern web development and doing some freelance work on the side. I have been focusing heavily on the MERN stack and everything revolved around it.
I just last week landed a new job with a Data Science company as a Javascript developer. It perfectly suits me as I am still a bit of a tortured artist inside and this role has elements of design in it as well! :p I hope to improve my skills dramatically being around other like minded people and from being put outside of my comfort zone.
