Experience

My professional and self-taught experience.

Junior Native Developer

Sep 2024 — Feb 2026

Checkd Development | Hybrid | Manchester

I spent over a year working as a junior mobile software developer at Checkd Group, primarily working on apps in SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose. I have experience using version control systems such as Bitbucket to create, merge, and review pull requests.

Key responsibilities included:

  • Building new pages and features into existing apps, using designs provided by the design department.
  • Refactoring old UIKit code into newer SwiftUI code in various views across the app.
  • Reskinning and rebranding apps to suit the needs of a new customer.
  • Integrating Firebase Analytics into an app, so A/B tests can be performed, and features can be enabled or disabled remotely without an app update using remote config.

Self-Taught Experience

Until Present

As part of my A-level programming project, I spent a lot of time independently learning C# and the Unity game engine at home using online resources, which I used to create a working 3D shooter game. This project involved implementing complex features including multi-level progression, interactive user interfaces, and custom configuration settings. In my free time, I also began learning HTML and CSS, which I use to design, host, and maintain a personal static website.

Technologies I have used include:

  • C# for Unity to develop games
  • Static HTML and CSS websites
  • Python

Work Placement

During a two-week placement at Alucraft Systems Ltd., I spent time working with many different departments throughout the company, such as marketing, design, estimating, IT, and construction. Through this, I learned about how the different teams in a company work together to create purposeful and profitable end products. I also spent time learning and using CAD design software to create high-quality drawings.
