Hi 👋, I'm Laura

I am Junior Full Stack Software Developer

About me

🛅 I am currently transitioning into the world of tech, actively seeking my first role within the industry.

🔭 I’m currently working on improving my React skills and learn more about databases.

🤔 I’m looking for help with landing my first job within the tech industry. Let's chat!

When I'm not coding, I channel my creativity by cross-stitching artworks. My current project is a painting by an impressionist artist, Edgar Degas. I also enjoy a good walk, whether it's to unwind or secretly think of solutions for tackling those pesky coding errors!
