— My story

A little of
everything.
Built to last.

From IT and programming at Shooters Hill Sixth Form to the workshop at Building Crafts College — I bring a wide range of skills and am always looking to add more to my toolkit.

I'm currently studying Bench Joinery at Building Crafts College, where I'm developing hands-on skills in producing traditional timber joints, reading technical drawings, and using hand and power tools safely and effectively.

Alongside my studies i work as a Chef in a high-volume Italian restaurant, specialising in authentic cuisine, food preparation, and maintaining hygiene and quality standards.

I also bring strong IT and programming skills from my L2 Digital Development studies, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, and Visual Basic.
