Who is Elise ?

🚀 I am a Junior Web Developer (specialising mostly in frontend but with a curiosity for backend too) with a real passion for bringing ideas to life in the most creative of ways. In my opinion, no problem is too big to solve (no matter how scary)!

⚛️ My academic background is in Physics, where I was first introduced to Data Science and python for data collection, manipulation and presentation.
🌍 Following my web dev bootcamp I embarked on my freelance journey as well as experimenting with building SAAS's.

Why Software ?


My journey into tech began in 2021 during my university studies when I craved more creativity in a rigid, logic-only driven field.

I discovered that software engineering offered the perfect blend of creativity and problem-solving, allowing me to think outside the box while tackling challenges. Since then I have immersed myself into the field…

Freelancing and Passion Projects

Since completing my bootcamp, I've been working as a Shopify web developer for various independent clients while continuously taking on personal projects to learn new technologies and stay current with the ever-evolving tech landscape.
March 2024 - May 2024

Web Dev Bootcamp Graduate

In May 2024, I completed a 3-month fully remote bootcamp with Le Wagon London, where I deepened my understanding of full-stack development through project-based learning in collaborative environments. Through which I developed 2 full stack applications in Ruby on Rails using MVC architecture patterns.
2019 - 2022

Experience in Engineering roles

Starting with a hardware-focused internship at Holophane in 2019, I've since transitioned into software engineering, gaining experience through roles at Imago and Publicis Sapient. At university, I contributed as a developer for the Computer Science Society and the Google Student Developer Club. Throughout my journey, I've seized every opportunity, from internships to society roles, to immerse myself in the tech industry.
September 2020 - June 2023

Academic Background in Physics

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Physics from the University of Manchester in June 2023, where I was exposed to the data science and analytics side of tech, using Python to develop proficiency in producing detailed, program-based reports.

My Soft skills
&
Core Values

Throughout my experiences within teams across different fields, there's one thing that I have learnt the most, and that is that:

"Technical skills are more easily picked up on than soft skills."
Whilst technical skills are crucial, the soft skills are what structure the foundation for all to be built on. As a result I wanted to sum up the most important soft skills + hard skills I have picked up/learnt along my journey…
Picking up new
technologies rapidly
Ability to Recognise
Recurring Patterns
Thriving in Multicultural
Teams & Environments
Welcoming to Feedback
and Criticism
