I'm Aberdeen-based and looking for an entry-level software developer role. I've been building with React, TypeScript and Node.js.
I've always been a STEM guy, and my educational path led me to a degree in biomedical science first. I liked the problem-solving, but I was more interested in building things than in staying in that field, and I was already teaching myself to code. In 2021, I found Epicode's full-stack course. The pitch was basically: do you want to turn this into a job? That was the point I stopped treating software as a side interest.
I joined Administrate afterwards as a junior engineer, on a React and GraphQL learning platform. The codebase was large and already in production. I built components, fixed broken user flows, and helped migrate the team's CI to GitHub Actions.
In 2025, I did frontend work at Andrual on a Next.js and TypeScript product. The app was making the same file-sharing requests twice. I found the duplicate calls, typed the API responses, and added Jest coverage around the bugs users were actually hitting.
When that contract ended, I went back to study: Access to Software Development at North East Scotland College, a PDA at Glasgow Clyde, and The Odin Project in my own time.
- weather-app — fetch a public API, then render it in the DOM. Live
- odin-linked-lists — a linked list from scratch, with Jest tests. The goal was simple: understand the pointers, not just use an array
- odin-tic-tac-toe — factory functions and the DOM
- todo-list — webpack modules, projects, localStorage. Live
I'm 80% through the The Odin Project JavaScript path, and I just passed an SCQF Level 6 in Software Development at NESCOL (Jun 2026).
