MY MUSIC WEBSITE
Really enjoying my recent interest in coding and I have started developing "My Music Website" a website dedicated to my music. I play guitar, it's pretty amateur but I enjoy learning things that challenge me both music and coding provide, it keeps me stimulated! I have recently registered with General Assembly for a JavaScript course and I am hoping to do a number of more courses in 2017 with a potential view to doing a Part-Time Computer Science Degree in 2018.
Testimonials
“Alastair managed to find me as a candidate while his customer had very specific expectations. He took good care of me when I arrived for interviews with the customer. As a candidate, I was impressed by his involvement in the process. I wish head hunters were all careful with their "products". I recommend Alastair.”
Cyrill Gabory, Acting CEO at TAPEWO - Executive MBA at ESCP Europe - Seasoned Sales Executive
“Alastair is always reliable and trustworthy in my dealings with him, and has been a pleasure to work with, while still providing a good stream of information and appropriate contacts.”
Ninian Harvey, Senior Development Manager - ION Trading
"Alastair is one of few best people in the business and goes beyond his contractual responsibilities to understand his client’s requirements and work towards achieving it."
