about
Welcome! My name is Jamie King (he/him) & I am an aspiring Kent-based software developer! I have been interested in technology since a young age, and that curosity has shaped my career as a software developer - working on a range of services at my present employer using React & NodeJS working across frontends & backends.
I have a keen eye for detail - often being able to quickly spot small problems within pieces of work I am given. I am independent and self-led, while also being comfortable shareing my opinions and speaking up during team sessions.
Computing is also one of my biggest hobbies too. Outside of work I run my own pair of servers (which this website is hosted on!), and run a set of services on them that I use myself & offer to my friends. Additionally, I also have a passionate interest in History!
