Hi, my name is Matthew Sykes
and I'm looking for my first job as a developer
About Me
In January of 2020 I started my journey to leave my dead end career behind to become a front end developer. The last year and a half has been spent finishing my degree in Information Technology and learning as much I can about development in whatever free time I have.
I have knowledge in HTML, CSS, Sass, JavaScript(ES6+), and Python. I am currently teaching myself React and Gatsby. I have learned a lot since I started, but I realize that the learning never stops.
My dream is to work with a team of people that wants to help the inexperienced become experienced. Whatever I lack in experience I more than make up for with my willingness to learn and drive to reach my goal of becoming a developer.
