About Me & My Website Experience
My name is Maurice Zambrana - I’m 21 years old and based in Poole. I’m a web designer and developer with over 5 years of non-commercial experience, through my college course, passion projects and internship application assessment. Now, I’m looking for a junior or internship role (local or remote) to gain professional experience and contribute to real-world projects.
Over the years, I’ve become confident in my skills when it comes to designing and developing websites, though I’m always eager and willing to learn new tools and practices. My passion for websites, alongside my technical skillset and personal qualities, will make me a valuable asset for your team. I’m organised, easy to work with and I’ll enjoy being a part of the team.
