Fun fact I missed a party once just to finish the full metal alchemist series.

I love working into the healthcare industry and helping to digitalized the system and learning also about it .

When we code we do it for a purpose and we always have to learn the business before coding . So we learn about different things which make our codes/ app a purpose in everyone’s life.
My Typical Day:

I work from home thus I wake up and have coffee , I log in to my computer to check my email then have breakfast and organize my day and meetings .I prepare lunch and get back to work until 05:00 .

As I my leg is injured I can work from home thus my daily day is different from the usual ones.

After having breakfast and organizing my day , I put on my headset for some focus time and sing along while coding .

I prepare lunch now that I am sick but do usually love buying it when I go to the office with colleagues.

As I need to do some physio I enjoy a brisk walk in between my work and come back to continue even later than 05:00 in the afternoon.

When I go to the office the routine is different as I get to collaborate with team face to face and eat with my colleagues . I usually travel to central London and enjoy some social time after work before going home.
What I'd do with the prize money:

I would use it to buy classroom lego kits to continue to enthuse most preferably the robotic ones .

I already bought some microbits to use in volunteering but it is not always accessible to have computers for all students thus the lego kits are more interesting to use.

They can be coded using my ihttps://www.lego.com/en-gb/categories/robots-for-kidspad one at a time but build and share across the classroom or students during an event.

Why education legos ?

They represent the lifecycle of a coding delivery where the students have to work in team to find a solution to a problem using their creativity with the plus to be able to code the lego using scratch for it to move .
