Charlie Saxton
Web Developer/UI Designer
Wellington,WGN
Summary
From an early age I have been interested in starting my own business ventures, particularly in software development and design. I first started by teaching myself C# and making games using the Unity game engine. I then progressed to learning web development and in the process learned Adobe XD, Javascript, SQL, HTML, CSS, and SCSS as well as multiple libraries (eg: jquery). I have created multiple web apps and my main achievement in this field is the creation of a popular social media app called Vinyl.
I am a very driven person and hard work is a value that is extremely important to me. I passed NCEA Level 3 and NCEA Level 2 with Excellence endorsed showing that if given a goal I can achieve what I put my mind to.
I am a friendly, outgoing individual, mature for my age. I’m a quick thinker and quick learner - able to pick up new concepts and technologies easily. I have strong communication skills which means I'm able to explain my thoughts clearly.
