I'm a highly motivated problem-solving technical artist who enjoys building things with code.
My first experience with programming was when I was 14. I built a very simple website for my rock band and learnt the basics of HTML and CSS. I remember enjoying it but I had other focuses in my life such as playing the guitar and making movies. As I got older, I became a movie nerd which led to me becoming a Visual Effects Compositor in the film industry. Years later, I decided to start learning Javascript. I've always had a passion for creating and being quite a logical person, I immersed myself in the world of code and started building applications for fun.
I think the skills that I've learnt in the VFX industry have been extremely beneficial when learning to code, especially when it comes to technical problem-solving. Ben Kent, a Lead Research Engineer at the Foundry, has said: "From what I've seen a lot of compositors do have a developer's mindset, just with better dress sense" link to article.
Since then, I've been honing my skills and learnt how to use ReactJS. I'm currently seeking a full-time role where I can help a company achieve its goals.
