• Nov 2022 - Mar 2023

Part of the 13-week software development bootcamp, I've gained hands-on experience in full-stack JavaScript development. Throughout the program, I honed my skills in front-end technologies such as React, HTML, and CSS, as well as back-end technologies like Express, and PostgreSQL. I also developed a strong understanding of TDD (Test-Driven Development) and paired programming through daily sprints and feedback sessions. With a passion for problem-solving, I'm eager to apply my knowledge to create innovative and user-friendly applications. Through intensive teamwork, mentorship, and project-based learning, I developed a collaborative mindset and strong communication skills, making me an ideal addition to any development team. I'm excited to continue building on this foundation and contribute to meaningful projects in the tech industry. Show less

Tax Professional Officer Caseworker

• Dec 2016 - Oct 2018

At HMRC I am involved within the Employer Compliance department, specifically Employment Status. As a caseworker, I am involved in investigating whether companies have correctly classified their engagements to be one of employment or self-employment. Employment status is not something that you can choose, but is determined from a wide range of aspects. Getting it right can be tricky. As part of the role, it is required to gather all the relevant information in order to make a decision on the employment status. This involves liaising with companies via email/calls and often requires face to face interviews in order to get all the information possible. By reviewing the information, a decision can be made by looking at the overall picture. If a company has wrongly classed an engagement to be self-employed thus paying the worker gross, the company must place the worker on to the payroll. Computations will be made for lost PAYE tax and NICs. Show less
