Gursham Singh

Front-End Web Developer

Hello, My name is Gursham Singh. I am a Junior Developer based in Nottingham.

My passion for development began as I was taking steps towards a degree in Sociology. In which I discovered Codecademy and W3Schools and started to play around with the tools that make up the backbone of web development. This then blossomed into a fascination with development, leading to watching video tutorials into the night and dreaming of bugs to debug. I then sought out professional advice from a developer who advised me that a boot camp would provide me with the necessary tools I would need to progress and having now graduating from General Assembly.

It was at General Assembly where I learnt how to use JS, React, Python and more and combine them to create a variety of projects. Ever since I have not looked back, each day, as I learn more code and uncover new bugs, my zeal and passion for pursuing a career in software development grows even greater. Now my goal is to make strides in my development capabilities and grow as a developer.

SKILLS.


Although JavaScript is my favoured language, I have experience in the following. I am always developing my skills further. Currently I am doing CodeWars and learning Next.js
