View My WorkAbout Me
As a Computer Science student, I'm driven by the process of turning an idea into a tangible, functional application. My coursework in Java and Python, combined with a Full Stack Development certificate, has given me a strong foundation in both front-end and back-end development.
I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy tackling challenges head-on. My experience in customer-facing roles has taught me the importance of communication and understanding user needs, which I apply to every project I undertake. I'm eager to apply my skills to real-world challenges and contribute to a forward-thinking team.
