Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKane Armstrong is an aspiring software developer and BSc Software Engineering student in the UK who pairs front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and Python with a practical, customer-focused mindset honed over nine years in hospitality. While working as a food server, bartender and weekend DJ, he developed strong communication, multitasking and team supervision abilities that translate into effective collaboration and user-centered product thinking. On GitHub he has contributed to the Nim programming language core—implementing features, fixing bugs and improving test and RNG behavior—demonstrating comfort with low-level, quality-focused backend work beyond typical front-end projects. Kane is curious by nature and embraces continuous learning, seeking roles where he can both build polished interfaces and dive into core library or systems-level problems. His background in high-pressure guest-facing roles suggests he thrives on feedback and rapid iteration, making him a pragmatic developer who values usability as much as correctness.
