Hey, I'm Shavana Peynado - Software Developer & Advocate for Diversity in Tech🤎

My earliest memory of tech was at the age of 4. I exceeded expectations at my nursery when I understood the foundations of computing despite being mute which became a diagnosis for Autism in 2002. My forms of communication were reading books and Technology. I spent 5 years in Banking, until January 2021, where I rekindled my love for technology and decided to complete a comprehensive 30 week Full-stack bootcamp with Black CodHer specialising in MERN stack technologies. I built React and JavaScript applications, focusing on producing responsive web applications.

After graduating in March 2022, I started my first role in Tech in April 2022 as a Junior Developer alongside Public Speaking and Assistant Teaching in React, Nodejs and MongoDB for Coding Black Females and completing a 6 week introduction course to Cyber Security with CybSafe x CBF.

Outside from the big world of Tech, my interests are Birdwatching, Bachata, Aerial Hoop, Reading, Swimming, Travelling and anything involving outdoors.
