Wolverhampton, UK snowdoncoder@gmail.com

An enthusiastic Web Developer based in Wolverhampton, looking to bring value to your business through my ever expanding Python/Django skills matched with my years of people skills in high paced retail roles.
I am also experienced in customer facing roles, with noted customer service and sales skills throughout multiple well known brands. These years spent in retail roles have helped transfer my drive and passion into my web development studies as demonstrated by my recently obtained First Class Honours in Full Stack Web Development course.


Projects (Currently Migrating!)

Bootstraped Django powered Blog

Using Django I created myself a Blog Platform from the ground up and writing custom bootstrap for the front end. Currently working and updating on this project, however the latest stable release is currently running. I am also using custom tiered permissions, allowing me to access the tools i've created and hidden in this site.

Workout tracker app

During lockdown I created GainsCraft to tick two boxes, keeping me moving and learning how to implement front end graphs filled with Django powered back end Database usage.

Browser based turn based combat game, built using JQuery, HTML5 & CSS3

Evolving my highest marked coursework project into an ever growing text-based RPG.

Python for real world use

I socially have played Dungeons and Dragons for years, and upon learning python I started to create tools and databases to help optimise our playing sessions. This allows me to create ever changing tools with weekly testers, helping me build with users in mind

Flask/MongoDB powered DND tool

My third project for my Full Stack Course. The remit was to create a database users could perform CRUD funtions for, and in line with the DND app this allowed me to create a project with end users testing and in mind.

Interests

While away from my laptop my passions include playing drums which has been promient in my life for as long as I can remember. Nothing fills me with joy more than performing live and meeting like minded people.

I keep tabs on current goings on, mostly through the form of putting my headphones in, listening to a podcast while going walking. At one point in my life I was 305lbs, and getting outside listening to podcasts started my weight loss journey. I'm now sitting at around 200lbs and have used my experiences to inspire others to do the same
