Software Engineering Graduate
Ethan Dashwood
BSc (Hons) Software Engineering graduate from the University of Brighton. I like building software that actually works end to end, from the database up to the interface, and I'm mainly interested in web development, databases and applied AI. Currently looking for a graduate or junior developer role.
01 — About
A bit about me
My degree covered software development, web development and database design. In my own time, I like to work on projects that I think will make my day to day life easier. I like working across the whole stack such as designing a database schema, writing the backend logic on top of it, and building an interface that's actually usable. I also like to play around with making my own games, tweaking with code and finding projects on GITHUB that I can make my own in one way or another.
