Louise Skinner

Full Stack Web Developer

I build clean, functional web applications using Python, Django and modern front-end technologies. Based in London, open to remote projects worldwide.

Developer with a passion for clean code

I'm a full stack web developer with a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Web Application Development from Code Institute and a 2:1 BSc (Hons) in Computing from London Metropolitan University.

With a background in teaching, coaching and sales, I bring strong communication skills and a people-first approach to every project. I love building things that are not only functional but genuinely enjoyable to use.

When I'm not coding, I run an indoor fitness bootcamp sessions in Islington — proof that I bring the same energy and commitment to everything I do! 💪
