Javascript Engineer, Sky

London

I started my career out of uni in Tech recruitment which is where I got my first exposure to the tech industry. Though I had a successful running spanning around 16 months, I felt mostly unfulfilled and unhappy. I left recruitment and slowly began to explore the opportunity of becoming a developer. After some time I came across General Assembly and felt that they would be the perfect place for me to kick start my career.

I complete the course and after a month or so of doing a bit of independent revision and another month of job searching, I landed my first role in the industry working for a small digital agency called 'DAM Digital'. After a year of grafting in a digi-agency and spending lots of my own time continuously up-skilling in JavaScript, I managed to land a job with Sky.

I currently work on the SkyGo team working on the SkyGo app and I am very happy in my new career. Very grateful to General Assembly for their help in turning my career and life around.
