An enthusiastic, flame haired, tech fanatic seeking my first job in the industry. I have spent the past 3 months at Makers Academy learning not only how to code, but how to think. I've learnt how the agile process works, and why testing is essential when producing quality code. I am ideally looking to work in an environment that is collaborative, test driven, and provides support for junior staff in order to accelerate learning. I am language agnostic and know I can learn anything very quickly to start contributing value.

I have a proven ability to solve complex problems as shown through my Codewars profile http://www.codewars.com/users/Adrian1707

You can view the methods and techniques I used to solve various problems in this repository https://github.com/Adrian1707/Codewars

You can get to know me better through my writing on my personal blog: http://ontheroadtocode.blogspot.co.uk/

8 Month Tour Across Africa July 2013 - March 2014 I booked a one way ticket to Cape Town after my graduation and hoped for the best. My plan was made up as I went along, but after some time decided to travel to Cairo from Cape Town without flying. This trip took 8 months, and saw me climb Kilimanjaro, meet some Ugandan mountain gorillas, work for a Zambian children's charity, and land in hospital after getting ambushed and beaten in Sudan by a group of men. I travelled to 12 countries in total and wrote about it all on this blog: Investment Backpacker https://investmentbackpacker.wordpress.com/

2 Month Tour Across India May 2015 - July 2015 I flew to Mumbai and decided to immerse myself in Indian life. I immersed myself a bit too much, which led to 4 hospital visits in just 2 months, often due to food poisoning or a bad reaction to the heat. Despite having to fly home a month early due to another bout of illness, I loved travelling across the subcontinent. South India was my favourite region and the scenery and cuisine had everything to do with that.

3 Month Tour Around the World June 2009 - September 2009 I took my first backpacking trip around the world as I just turned 19. This led to experiences camping in Namibia, bungee jumping in New Zealand, shark diving in South Africa, trekking in China, and many many more.
