Since the internet was introduced to me at an early age, I always aspired to use the internet to benefit myself or other people. I realised that the internet is a powerful tool capable of solving any problem. Whenever using the internet I always find myself analysing the design and functionality of websites – how they could be improved, what makes them successful.

I became fascinated with web design when I got my first computer several years ago, spending hours experimenting with CSS and HTML coding. I have continued to spend a lot of my time with computers as the majority of work produced in my GNIIT Diploma in Computer Science. I feel my passion for design and computing is a good combination that is relevant to this course as well as my desire to learn.

As a person I am organized, punctual and a quick learner. I enjoy problem solving and motivating myself, which I feel plays a key part in learning how to use programming languages and creating websites. I specialised in Web 2.0 for my MCTS Certification which involved working around design and Development briefs, I found the most interesting as I enjoy designing and development around specifications. Working as a group or independently played a big part in all of my professional projects, from designing to the development. I feel these characteristics will help me excel in this industry and provide me with the skills required to be successful within the web development industry.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, music, and travelling these have all led me to use the internet to research and keep updated with my interests. I have benefited greatly from applying the internet to my hobbies, which is another reason why I aspire to become a web developer. I have recently designed my own website which I use as a portfolio and a place to practice using HTML, CSS and PHP.

Professionally I am working as Web Developer on PHP platform in which involves creating websites using WordPress(CMS), creating custom themes for WordPress, custom plugins for WordPress, designing dashing web pages using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap and JQuery are my daily routine.
