~ ABOUT ~

Hi, I'm Milly, a junior software developer based in London.

Previously, I worked in financial advertising and marketing for 7 years, the majority of which was spent at a specialist financial services media agency where I gained experience in marketing analytics, campaign management and client servicing. I was often happiest when building campaign performance dashboards and working with digital and development teams so I decided to further explore the world of web development. Ultimately, this led me to enrolling in the General Assembly Software Engineering Immersive course where I gained a great understanding of full stack development.

I am now excited to stretch my abilities and eager to join a dynamic and collaborative team in a company where I can grow and build upon my current skill set.

aromatics

Pair Project | 9 days

We built an aromatherapy application using React and Django/PostgreSQL for the backend. The app contains information on essential oils, base oils and has a collection of recipes. Users can login to create, edit or delete their own recipes and choose whether to make them public or private. Users can also rate, comment and save other users' recipes.

Watchit

Group Project | One week

Watchit is a MERN application that generates a random movie based on the preferences of two users. User can create an account and after setting their movie preferences by swiping through our selection of movies (IMDb Top 250 Movies), they can select a user to "match" with and the app will suggest a movie to watch that both users have liked.

standings

Formula 1

Pair Project | 3 days

We created a frontend React application that consumed two public APIs. The app displays current driver standings, race schedule and results, the drivers index, and driver profiles. Spending two days sharing our different strengths and skills as well as learning to pair code was invaluable. Outside of paircoding, my responsibilities included the Driver Profiles and Schedule pages.

Theseus & the Minotaur Pac-Man

Individual Project | One week

For our first project, we were tasked with creating grid-based game using HTML, CSS and JavaScript technologies that we had learnt in the first three weeks of the course. As a fan of Greek mythology, my game was Theseus & the Minotaur themed Pac-Man.
