Hi,
I'm Rishi

Fullstack developer in training.

A bit about me

Hey there! I'm a recent physics graduate who loves learning new technologies. I'm currently training to be a full stack developer with futureproof, where I've been learning things like Javascript, SQL and NoSQL Databases, React and more.

Other interests of mine include creating visual effects for my (ridiculous) short films, and anything to do with space - science missions, industry developments, and of course sci-fi films, tv and books!

Here are some of things I've worked on recently while training at futureproof!
