About me

Hello World! My name is Renée-Louise

I am an Economics graduate with a passion for problem-solving and technology. I am self-motivated, hardworking and reliable, with a penchant for meeting deadlines. I speak English fluently and enjoy working independently, but also in a team. I am seeking the opportunity to combine my knowledge of both Statistics and programming to gain industry experience within the Fintech space.

While studying Economics at University, I would always find myself building websites. Initially, I used platforms like Wix, Wordpress and Shopify to design my imaginations. However as time went on, I grew more curious about how these website-building platforms were constructed using code. This led me to begin my programming journey. 👩🏿‍💻 I taught myself how to programme in HTML, CSS and Javascript. using platforms like Udemy, Freecodecamp, Datacamp, Google and YouTube. This helped me to understand more about the foundations of Computer Science, but also helped to build my confidence when using these three programming languages.
