Additional Information / Other Interests

I was a member of the GDSC (Google Developer Student Club) at the University of Portsmouth, before starting my placement at Elanco.

I recently attended DTX (2022), as well as React Advanced (2022) in London which I enjoyed, I learned a lot of new technologies and services (Such as Storybook, Shopify and Kontent.ai!) which I would like to utilize in my projects in the future, as well as developing my React knowledge further.

I'm interested in a few other areas, such as application security, large scale applications, as well as infrastructure-as-code (IaC). I'd love to talk this, so please reach out to me!
