Profissão: SQL Junior Developer

ESL Teacher
Education
Teaching a wide variety of students with various needs, different backgrounds and differing ages, some as young as 10 and old as 65. This involved both group lessons and one to one for people with specific needs (e.g IELTS, survival)

Interesses: I have a background in Software Development, I used to work as an MySQL and Python junior developer (8-9 years ago!) before being an English teacher and I am currently in the process of developing programs based in Javascript. I have a general interest in technology related to this having read a great deal about blockchain and cryptocurrency, which I recently entered, as well as being into casual PC gaming, particularly Overwatch.

I am also a big fan of sports and fitness, particularly football and yoga. I go to the gym almost every day, being into both lifting and cardio exercises. Dieting is also an important part of fitness, discovering new recipes and talking about nutrition are both important to me. I'm also a huge fan of soccer in general, supporting Liverpool FC (being from the city!)

I have also been a big fan of science fiction (Star Trek, The Expanse etc), physics (astrophysics!) and space since I was a child, I am an avid follower of both and I hope to become an amateur astronomer soon.

I've lived in Italy, Spain and Australia, having even studied a bit of Italian in the past too.
