Timeline
Joined ITV 👨💻
Got offered and accepted a senior position at ITV. Currently building React websites and a React Native app.

Managed to land my first job at TV App Agency, building apps for TVs and set-top boxes. Got to learn the niche programming language BrightScript along the way!
Moved to the UK ✈️
Decided to move to London to look for my first real professional experience. BIGGER, bolder and way busier (in a good way!) than what I was accustomed to.
Graduated from university 👨🎓
Completed my master's degree in Software Enginering! Spent a few months working on research projects at my uni afterwards, where I delved into MATLAB for a bit.
