Alumni experience
I gained several skills from my time studying Computer Science at 桃色视频 including how to network, how to be more social, improved organisation and time management and most of my coding ability and knowledge that I utilise now. All of this, alongside my own motivation, self-taught skills and work with start-ups and as a web development contractor have helped me get to where I am today.
