As a junior software developer, I'll bring a unique blend of creativity and technical expertise to your team. My background in advertising has equipped me with a good nose for a big idea, experience of working in a team with designers, UX, strategy and and presenting to clients.

As a copywriter I have garnered a few awards including D&AD, Clios, Campaign and Guardian Innovation Award. I've added two digital projects from my past life so you can see how I think and work. If you want to see more of this kind of work visit benwade.portfolio.site, but I am now focused on coding and software development because I love it.

I am a graduate of the Code Institute's Diploma in Full Stack Software Development, where I honed my skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, and SQL. I am passionate about creating user-friendly applications and websites that solve real-world problems. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals and contribute to innovative projects.
