Hey, I'm Shav πŸ‘‹

Multi-Award Winning Software Developer at AND Digital with 3+ years of experience building accessible, full-stack digital solutions. After pivoting from Finance and graduating in French and Spanish (The Open University, 2024), I bridge the gap between complex logic and human-centric design.

I am deeply committed to best practices, inclusive tech education, and mental health advocacy within the industry - founding initiatives like the Code & Chill events in Leeds for women in tech.
