I'm Zooey, I'm a full stack web developer.
I graduated from the Founders and Coders full stack Javascript bootcamp in London, and then went on to mentor at the London, Nazareth and Gaza Founders and Coders campuses.
My main interest in terms of technology is strongly typed functional programming. I learned Elm towards the end of my time at Founders and Coders, and have been learning Haskell in my spare time since February 2018. I am also passionate about software accessibility.
I enjoy keeping up with what's going on in tech and being involved in the community by attending meetups and conferences, and this year have attended JSconf EU, FullStack Conference and Haskell eXchange.
You can find me on GitHub and linkedIn, and on [email protected] if you need to email me.
