I have been coding websites for over ten years, and have recently taken training to expand my skills to a professional level. I now want to debut my skills in a professional environment, and expand upon the skills I possess. I combine swift working with attention to detail, and a creative outlook in my projects. I am currently looking for opportunities in the Bucks area, although I am willing to relocate for the right opportunity in the London area.
