@markdavies
IT professional transitioning to full-stack development with strong Python, SQL, and client-facing experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive IT professional with 7+ years in IT support and system administration, followed by a successful client-facing career in fitness where I built strong relationship management skills. I'm transitioning back into technology with a focus on software development and full‑stack projects.
I have hands-on experience in Python, SQL, web scraping, Flask, and contemporary development tooling, and I'm currently completing a certification covering Python, JavaScript, React, blockchain, and cryptocurrency integration. My background includes delivering 1st–3rd line support, Active Directory administration, networking, and infrastructure management across multiple industries.
I designed and deployed an online personal training platform and have a portfolio of projects including a blockchain proof-of-work application in progress, a CLI weather app, and web scrapers. I combine technical problem-solving with client-focused communication, adaptability, and a continuous learning mindset.
