Paige Warden

I have just completed a level 3 bootcamp for coding principles. I am extremely eager to enter the tech world, preferably into an apprenticeship where I can continue to learn and develop new skills 

As a qualified Junior Software Developer with a background in the creative industry, I bring a unique perspective to software development that allows me to think outside of the box and come up with creative solutions. I am well-versed in the software development life cycle and methodologies and have experience using IDE platforms to create OOP projects.
