My name is Ben; and until recently I was a chemistry technician at my local university.
I gained experience in the role and even earned my science degree through part-time study.
However, gradually I lost enthusiasm with chemistry and realised I needed something different.
After some soul-searching I chose coding because there is ample opportunity for growth and career progression.
So far I am enjoying it. Being able to see what you're building gives me a real buzz.
Ultimately, I'd like to grow into a professional.
This example is the classic weather app.
I built this to help learn about API calls.
The app is functional; however for API key protection reasons I can only show a screenshot for now.

An alcoholic beverage record app!
At the moment I'm only in the design stage. The picture is a wireframe of the app.
I like to try out guest beers and new wines when I go out; sometimes you find a great new drink!
To remember them I write them into my phones note app.
However, it is clunky to edit, has no search/sort capability, and basically not suitable for my needs.
So I'm challenging myself as a new coder to try to build this app.
