Roland Levy

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

PROFILE

Hi, my name is Roland. I am looking for a role as a Software Developer and have experience in JavaScript, React, Node and other modern technologies.

After 12 years of managing events and digital & print design campaigns I found myself increasingly drawn to Software Development so I studied on an intensive Full Stack bootcamp. In a short space of time I learnt and demonstrated sophisticated concepts starting with the fundamentals of JavaScript, responsive web design and moving onto more complex technologies including React, Redux, Express and PostgreSQL.

I now want to put this into practice, deepen my experience of software development and help my employer achieve their aims.
