After completing my Engineering degree I started my career as web developer. I have had a career break to look after my child. My little one has started full time school and I really want to get back to work, however all of the flexible or part time jobs I have seen advertised are depressing. I don’t necessarily want to go back into what I did before and I do need a change which allows me to balance looking after my kid with a career.

Volunteering as a web developer at Freshwinds has helped me to expose my work to a broader audience, build my confidence, and hone my skills.

I have quickly become part of the friendly and supportive family. I appreciate their flexible timing.

I am developing WordPress websites which is something new to me. I encountered some difficulties initially and solved them one by one with the help of others around me. It’s fun and a great learning experience.

It’s a great pleasure sharing my experience and working in such a friendly environment.
