About Me

Hi, I'm Christopher, a software developer merging management experience with clean code.

Drawing from my background as a cinema duty manager, I use my operational focus to drive Agile methodologies, define realistic project scopes, and ensure predictable development cycles.

My relevant coursework includes:

Project Management: Managed Agile sprints and deliverables in Jira as a rotating Scrum Master.

Core Computer Science Subjects: Object-Oriented Programming, Discrete Mathematics, Networking & Cloud Computing, and Database Design & Development.


Portfolio

Headless Portfolio API

Java & Spring Boot PostgreSQL REST API

Overview: A full-stack web app that uses a REST API and database to separate backend data from the frontend.

Technical Decisions: Built a Spring Boot backend with APIs to manage and organise project data. Stored data in PostgreSQL using JPA. Built a simple frontend that fetches data from the API and displays it. Enabled frontend-backend communication using CORS.
