TECHNOLOGY & DIGITAL PROJECTS
I’ve become increasingly interested in technology through building and experimenting with my own digital projects. I’m now building on those skills to move into a career where technology, business and practical problem-solving come together.
WHAT INTERESTS ME ABOUT TECHNOLOGY
Finding better ways to work.
I’m particularly interested in the point where business problems and technology meet. I enjoy understanding how something works, spotting where things could be improved and exploring how technology can make a process simpler, more efficient or less time-consuming.
Understand the problem
Before looking for a technical solution, I want to understand what a business is trying to achieve, where the problems are and what people actually need.
Improve the process
I’m naturally interested in finding ways to streamline the way things are done, remove unnecessary work and make better use of people’s time.
Use technology well
I’m interested in how automation, connected systems and digital tools can turn those ideas into practical solutions.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
A career built around problem-solving.
My background has taken me through a range of roles, including running my own businesses and working in practical and operational environments. What connects them is that I’ve always enjoyed understanding how things work, solving problems and finding ways to make things work better.
More recently, I’ve explored those interests through my own digital projects. Building websites and experimenting with technology has made me realise how much I enjoy this side of things, and has led me to want to make a career change into technology.
Now I’m building on that experience and developing my technical skills to move into technology.
DIGITAL PROJECTS
Learning by building and exploring.
I’ve developed and experimented with a number of my own digital projects. They have given me the opportunity to explore technology in practice, work out what different projects need and learn from both what works and what doesn’t.
RELAXED GOLF
A developing digital project exploring social and relaxed golf for wellbeing. I’ve used WordPress to put the website together and explored different tools and plugins to create community, directory and other functionality.
COVERIT
An online business I established and ran, including putting together its WordPress website and exploring how digital tools could support the business and improve its processes.
LOCAL LINK HUB
A personal project exploring how an online platform could help local businesses collaborate and cross-promote. The project didn’t ultimately get off the ground, but it developed my interest in how technology can solve practical business problems.
WHAT I’M LEARNING
Building my technical skills.
I’m continuing to build my technical knowledge through independent learning and practical projects. I’m particularly interested in understanding how different technologies work together and how they can be used to solve practical problems.
WHERE I’M HEADING
Building towards a career in technology.
I’m looking to build a career where I can combine my understanding of business with developing technical skills. I’m particularly interested in using technology and automation to solve practical problems, streamline processes and help businesses work more effectively.
I’m now looking for the opportunity to develop those skills further, learn from experienced people and apply them to real-world projects.
