Background

About Ita Connell

A multifaceted professional with a unique blend of experiences in software engineering, digital marketing, and education. As a software engineer intern at Trailstone Group, I'm currently immersed in the technology sector, applying my strong programming and problem-solving skills developed at Code Institute and WBS Coding School. Before transitioning into tech, I spent several years in education, working as a teacher across various grade levels and subjects, including mathematics, English, and science. My teaching journey took me across the globe, from Denmark to Spain, Netherlands, and Germany, shaping my abilities to adapt and communicate effectively in diverse environments. In 2022, I ventured into digital marketing with Meta, assisting small businesses to grow via personalized advertising strategies. This experience honed my understanding of tech's significant role in modern business growth. My broad skills-set, comprising front-end technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React.js, Redux), back-end technologies (Node.js, SQL, NoSQL), best practices (UX/UI fundamentals, SEO, Agile Methodologies), and soft skills (intercultural communication, bilingual/multilingual education), sets me apart. I thrive in environments where I can bridge the gap between tech and people, leveraging technology to create impactful solutions. With a firm belief in lifelong learning and a knack for quickly assimilating new knowledge and skills, I am keen to leverage my diverse expertise in driving digital transformation, either in the education sector or the business world. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new tech trends, honing my programming skills, and sharing my knowledge by mentoring aspiring programmers. I'm always open to connecting with like-minded professionals and exploring new opportunities.
