Louise Swift

I'm currently:

• part of the dev team at Beano Studios (yes, *that* Beano!)
• working on Curriculum-App.io in my spare time - it lets you track and share your self-study progress, resources & projects

I recently:

• featured in the epic Brutalist Websites gallery thanks to the designers of Barbara Creative letting me build their website
• helped a new startup get started-up with a custom platform for finding Invisible Homes on the market
• worked as part of a great team to build an interactive site for the Universal Music artist Youngr
• helped assemble the tech in Gallery One of the Selfies show at the Saatchi Gallery (press)

To build applications, I use:

• Ruby and Sinatra or the Ruby-on-Rails framework
• JavaScript (React and React Native)
• Relational database systems like MySQL & PostgreSQL
• Web services like AWS, Elasticsearch, Firebase
• HTML5 and CSS3/Sass
• Git for source code management and version control
• People skills, because collaborative work is the best work

I'm always studying:

• Computer science and software engineering (see my track on Curriculum-App.io »)
• French
• Yoga

My all-time favourite games:

• Dragon Age: Origins
• Final Fantasy VII (which I completed to 100% back in '97 - including all the chocobo racing, which taught me the true meaning of grit)
