Originally from England, but currently living in Vancouver and working for an educational software company in Gastown. I started with my learning with BCIT in the COMP1850 program with the intention to work towards the associate certificate. After completing COMP1850 I naturally progressed to the more advanced development courses.
I have thoroughly enjoyed COMP1950 and found it incredibly useful with my current career. I have particularly enjoyed learning about HTML5, CSS3 and javascript. After completing this course I intend to continue my progression through the Web Development Associate Certificate.

Computer Systems Engineering graduate, who is currently pursuing an Applied Web Development certificate from BCIT. Currently work as an API Support Specialist in a retail POS software company. In this role I help external developers during the onboarding process to ensure that they have the right tools and access to use our REST APIs. I also design and publish content on our developer's documentation portal.
Many of the web development courses I have taken at BCIT have greatly improved my work experience. I now have a firm grasp of Photoshop, JavaScript, jQuery, and SQL/databases and am applying their techniques in my daily work activities.

Born and raised in Brazil but now living in Vancouver, I'm 31 years old and married with no children. I'm also a production engineer with almost 10 years working with airplanes, and a Maintenance Engineer for helicopters. My specialty is fixing structural and mechanical issues. I can certify airworthiness of airframe, piston and turbine engines.
I really enjoy the natural beauty that this country offers, as I love being outdoors. I have no background with coding but in the future I intend become a web developer.

I dedicate a lot of time into Emergency Management and my work focuses on Emergency Planning and Preparedness. I've been deployed multiple times to other provinces, especially after wildfires, to take care of the recovery, planning and preparation phase of the response. I am also part of the Special Operations department for BC Ambulance that takes care of contracted ambulance services like Pemberton Music Festival to Canucks games; Health Canada's Internationally Protected Persons (IPP) Program, and Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear explosive (CBRNE) protective measures.
Apart from work, I would like to be a graphic designer and a web developer. I've been very into design when I was young but because my parents worry the outcomes of my future with an art degree, so I graduated with a bachelor in business with multiple certifications in emergency management when I was still volunteering for Red Cross. After graduation, I can now focus on what I really love and enjoy and hopefully be hired in a design company in the near future.
