Chris Thorne

Hi, I'm Chris, a software developer based in London working primarily with web technologies.

As an experienced professional with a computer science background, I can help you learn or improve in many areas of software development and am happy to tailor sessions to your needs. In terms of topics we can dive really deep into, my professional toolset nowadays is primarily:

• Python
• Django
• JavaScript
• React
• PostgreSQL
• Docker
• AWS (qualified Solutions Architect)

I also conduct technical interviews and would be happy to work through some interview-style questions if that's something you need to prepare for.

I have around 9 years of professional experience but my interest in programming goes back 15 years when I first started learning to code as a hobby with a mentor of my own. I strongly believe that anyone can learn to code if they set their mind to it with access to the right support for the questions we all have when learning something new.

In the past, I've also done some open-source work and notably managed to contribute a bug fix to CPython in one of the language codec modules. This is something I'd love to do more of or guide others in doing.

If you're looking for a patient mentor with a wide range of experience who can break things down into plain English terms, don't hesitate to get in touch!
