I have been a software engineer at Wise, a Solihull-based startup tech company, for two years now - but prior to this I had no coding experience at all.
My background is in music and, after completing my undergraduate degree in jazz at a music conservatoire, I spent over a decade working as a professional saxophonist, both teaching and performing.
Growing up with such a passion for music, I'd never considered a career in anything else until a few years ago. At the time, I was looking for a new challenge to get stuck into and l heard about the School of Code in Birmingham.
