About

After a decade long career in retail working for various brands and progressing to the position of Store Manager, I was made redundant as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. Twice. Although deeply upsetting, this gave me the opportunity to rethink some decisions and consider my career choices.I had always been interested in Web Development and had made a number of very rudimentary websites. I had completed several online tutorials, but the bootcamps, which could take my knowledge to the next level, were all prohibitively expensive and exclusionary. Until I found the School Of Code.School of Code, the 16 week full-stack intensive bootcamp allowed me to retrain as a Web Developer, but also aided with getting employment. I was successful in my application to the 383 Project as an Associate Frontend Engineer, where I worked on several project during my time there.

This uses Contentful as a headless CMS so the site could be easily updated with new menu items, gig listings, seasonal opening times, etc.The styling of the site is minimal as the main focus was to create a faster website that was easier to update.The current website can be viewed here
