ABOUT ME

About Me

Hello, I'm Leo Ashcraft, with over 15 years of dedicated experience in the IT sector.

I began my journey into technology at the age of 16, starting with building and repairing computers. Over the years, I've advanced to Director roles in several startup environments, where my responsibilities spanned programming, network administration, and team management. Alongside overseeing employees, I've cultivated expertise across various programming languages and technologies.

Driven by a quest to shift away from the broader IT landscape, in 2021, I further honed my skills at Coding Temple, a Coding Bootcamp. Gaining practical proficiency in HTML, PHP, CSS, Python, JavaScript and several technologies, I transitioned into a full-fledged software developer role. My approach emphasizes direct communication and a deep understanding of evolving business needs, enabling me to deliver effective solutions tailored to cultivating digital excellence.
