Welcome to the GitHub, we've got fun and games...wait that ain't quite right. I think I may of got those Guns and Roses lyrics slightly wrong. So we shall move swiftly on. I'm Timothy and after being a photographer for 9 years I decided to take on some new challenges. Bring my creative thinking and attention to detail to new aspects of life.

This is what lead me to the School of Code intensive bootcamp. Working with a agile mindset we had weekly sprints to cover the whole product lifecycle. This was not only incredibly rewarding but gave me the ability to build, iterate and learn fast. I still have a passion for my photography but I am absolutely loving the software development world and have really found my vocation.

Thank you for checking out my GitHub and feel free to browse the projects - I have pinned some of my favourites.

I have pinned my favourite projects but in short I am especially proud of the following projects:

1. Red Panda Portfolio/Studio: I continually beaver away at this not only to solidify my own knowledge but help other developers just starting out on their journeys. I am really proud of how it is coming togother and loving the journey.

2. Red Panda Components/Icons: I am especially proud of having three npm packages published. A component library and icon library included. I want to make them a bit more feature rich when I get the chance. But Red Panda Studio and Eco Leap take priority currently.

3. West Midlands Combined Authority Dashboard: This was a team project and my main contributions were the yearly view and the onclick and onhover cards including their logic. It was created intially over four one week sprints to answer a problem statement from Siobhan Bassford, Director of Communications at West Midlands Combined Authority. I am especially proud of the feedback we received:

“The team really listened to what I needed, incorporated everything I wanted into the tool and even achieved some stretched goals we had set. They worked quickly and created a workable and visually appealing product.” Siobhan Bassford, DOC

I have cloned the original repo and continue to work on it to make improvements and add extra features.

Feel free to connect with myself on LinkedIn for all things Timothy and to follow my journey. Looking forward to connecting with ya.
