Hello! I’m Michelle. Thank you for visiting! I am a front-end developer, but my road to becoming a developer hasn't been the traditional one. At the young age of 33, I decided on a complete career change... whilst pregnant, whilst in a pandemic. Who doesn't like a challenge, right?
My background is in brand marketing, creative, and being the person people come to when something doesn’t work. Social scheduling mistakes, image resolution issues, a broken toilet, you name it, I've been asked to fix it.
I spent 11 years in the music industry, 7 of which were at Ministry of Sound, before working as a freelance Marketing Manager for 6 years. During that time, I worked across diverse industries, including travel, insurance, music, film, and events.
When the pandemic hit, much of my freelancing work slowed down. Instead of standing still, I decided to pursue something I’d always been fascinated by, web development. Thanks to Code Institute, I earned my diploma in Software Development (Full Stack) in February 2021 with merit, and my final project was awarded a distinction.
My training came with an unexpected twist—I found out I was pregnant just one month into the course, setting me up for the toughest deadline I’d ever faced! But with hard work and determination, I successfully transitioned into my first in-house developer role at the amazing Nice & Serious.
