Background

About Simon Davis

I'm a Junior Software Engineer at Simplyhealth, where I work as part of a motivated, product-lead team and contribute to the development of both front-end and back-end services. It's a job I absolutely love, thanks in no small part to the company's emphasis on continued learning, a highly supportive and encouraging team, and the challenging nature of the work we do every day. In 2023 I embarked on an intensive 3-month software engineering bootcamp with General Assembly, following a 7-year career as an automotive journalist. This felt like a huge career upheaval at the time, but I don't regret it for a second. In fact, my previous line of work helped me to develop a skill-set that prioritises research, collaboration, relationship building and critical thinking - all of which I'm now putting to good use as a junior engineer.
