What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role focused on accessible UI/UX, stakeholder and team collaboration, and opportunities for technical growth.

I am a Junior Software Developer with almost 3 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining web applications using Angular, TypeScript, React, and Python/Django. I specialize in modernizing legacy systems, integrating front-end features with back-end solutions, and improving UI/UX and accessibility.

At Tradewind Scientific Ltd I modernized multiple legacy Angular apps (v13 → v18), supported airport operations tools, and led a company website redesign while collaborating directly with stakeholders to refine functionality. My personal projects include responsive Angular and React apps, full-stack MERN work, and award-winning hackathon entries.

I bring strong problem-solving, adaptability, cross-team collaboration, and a background in regulated and customer-facing environments. I value accessible design, maintainable code, and contributing to structured teams that deliver impactful technical solutions.
