PORTFOLIO
ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Chris Booth, an aspiring software developer on a mission to turn my passion for coding into a thriving tech career. With a background as a content producer for blogs and radio, I've mastered the art of storytelling, and now I'm weaving my narratives into lines of Java and Python code.
​
Beyond coding, my creative spirit thrives through storytelling. My experience working closely with software developers has allowed me to help them share their unique experiences and insights, resulting in a vibrant portfolio of writing and editing.
But that's not the whole story. I also hold a Master of Arts in Health Journalism, reflecting my deep-rooted interest in health and well-being. My ultimate goal is to leverage technology in the health tech sector, contributing my coding skills to build a healthier world.
​
Explore my work, and let's collaborate on the next exciting chapter of technology and storytelling.

COOL PROJECTS I'VE WORKED ON
Here are some of the coolest projects I've worked on, both personally and professionally.
Children's Voices on COVID-19
Winner of WHO's Reboot Health & Wellbeing Challenge 2020
​
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, RX Radio started a new project called Children's Voices on COVID-19 where we created PSA, captured children's experiences and provided entertainment during the lockdown. We felt it was important for children's voices to be heard and shared with other children around the world.
​​
This project was announced in July 2020 as one of the two winners of the UN and WHO's Reboot Health and Wellbeing Innovation Challenge - a victory which has lead us to be a part of the World Health Assembly in May 2021.
Booth In Japan
Personal Blog
​
Teaching English in Japan was a great personal and professional experience that helped me grow as a person and develop my inter-personal skills. However, not wanting to leave my journalistic skills to rust, I started a blog called Booth In Japan where I wrote and shared articles about a variety of topics ranging from travel information, cultural information, and personal experiences.
The blog was intended to act as a guide for those visiting Japan - particularly other South Africans. I also produced and edited a number of videos on this blog.
