Hi, I'm Jonny Vickers

I'm a Junior Full Stack Developer based in London

About Me

I spent a few years touring the UK and Europe as a musician and manager for an indie pop band, before going off to university and becoming a teaching assistant in a behaviour unit for teenagers. Whilst I enjoyed many aspects, I found I craved the opportunity to apply myself in a way that fully utilised creative, organisation and problem solving skills.

Once a friend corrected my misconception that it was too late to pursue a career in software, I tried my hand at some basic coding courses online and have never looked back, quickly signing up to a full time software engineering bootcamp at General Assembly.

I am looking for a dynamic environment to throw myself into and continue developing my software engineering skills and knowledge.

Holiday Mates

9 days || Group

Full stack MERN app with CRUD functionality. We built a social media site for sharing holidays. On the back end, I focussed on referencing between the databases and the add friend functionality. For the front end, I focussed on the display, search and filter of the holidays on an interactive map and the profile and friends pages.

Movie Search

Pair-coded an app using React that used an external API, in which users could find information on films. I particularly focussed on the searching functionality and display of results.

Pac-Man

9 days || solo

I used JavaScript to build a grid based Pac-Man game with three levels, adjustable difficulty and a leaderboard. I was particularly proud of creating a function that helped me build levels and ensuring the ghosts moved towards Pac-Man.
