I am a Junior Full-Stack Software Developer

About Me

Hello, my name is Victor Adams. I am a junior full-stack developer who recently completed an MSc in Computer Science at the University of Brighton, achieving a 2:1 (Merit). I first discovered Computer Science at 14 and have been passionate about problem-solving and technology ever since. My studies have equipped me with a strong theoretical foundation for building full-stack web applications.

To further develop my practical skills, I completed the IT Career Switch Full-Stack Coding Traineeship, which involved producing several full-stack web applications.

I am a persistent, solution-oriented, and analytical individual, comfortable working independently or collaboratively. Open to in-person, hybrid, or remote work, I am eager to contribute to challenging projects and create impactful software solutions.
