Recent graduate & aspiring developer

Hi, I'm Alex Verheecke
from Luxembourg

About Me

I moved from Luxembourg to England in 2018 to pursue an undergraduate degree in English Language and Linguistics. During the lockdown in March 2020, I began my programming journey with the University of Helsinki's Java Programming MOOC. After graduating, I continued my education at the University of Birmingham and undertook a postgraduate Computer Science course. I conducted my final postgraduate research project on the influence of machine translation on sentiment. I am now actively searching for a job in Software Development in Leeds. As I have a Luxembourgish and British dual citizenship, I am not required to have a work visa in the UK.
