I am a Designer
About
My journey has taken me from the world of IT to the world of healthcare, and now I am excited to combine these experiences in a new career in web development. Born in Italy and now based in Somerset (UK), I have had a lifelong passion for technology, starting with a Commodore 128 at age 4.
After graduating from a computer science high school/college, I spent nine years (2001-2010) working in IT in Rome, supporting a wide range of clients. In my 30s, I pursued a career in nursing, moving to England in 2016. This experience instilled in me strong communication, problem-solving, and empathy - skills that are invaluable in creating user-centered web applications.
Currently, I am dedicated to expanding my technical skills through an online web development course, building a portfolio of projects that showcase my abilities. I am seeking a challenging and rewarding role where I can apply my diverse background and contribute to innovative projects. In my free time, I enjoy music (I play bass the guitar in a band), staying active at the gym and in the surf, exploring nature, and traveling.
