My name is Jamie. I currently live in the midlands. I am a self-taught developer with a thirst for knowledge and wholeheartidly beleive that you can't teach motivation, determination, confidence, be a team member and the ability to learn something new. That is something I have learned from my former days in the British Army.

Having studied IT and Computer Science (A-level * 2) at school, I realise this is the something for me that everyone is looking for. Job satisfaction, ability to think outside the box constantly and last but not least be creative. This profile theme was inspired by my partner. Surprising to me, it works. That is not something you get to bring to work everyday and its soemthing I really enjoy.

I have been coding on and off for a few years now, but the past few months everthing has really clicked. There is a difference between completing code challanges and trying to absolutely perfect and understand what your doing. Doing "something" is not enough anymore. It has to be the best I can do. Wether its by adding in JQuery and Bootstrap or using API's for some data driven projects.

I have only recently discovered CSS built in flexbox. I have used it on this portfolio as a first time for a project. I am pleased and have learned ALOT just doing it, understanding it and using it the way I see fit. I have recently given up my full-time job to persue this as a career, not a job, but a growing lasting career. If thats not commitment or confidence I don't know what is!
