What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build secure, data-driven enterprise systems—especially in cloud engineering, cybersecurity, and analytics—while shipping real features and growing into AI-enabled platforms.

I’m a Software Engineer developing enterprise applications with a strong focus on cloud, data, and security. I work with PL/SQL, Oracle APEX, and React Native to deliver reliable backend systems and secure user experiences.

At NCT Forestry, I built and maintained enterprise PIMS modules, including secure database procedures, RBAC, and input validation mechanisms. I also developed reporting queries, backend integrations, and enterprise workflow logic, collaborating across Git workflows, debugging, testing, and deployments.

I’m equally drawn to advanced platforms and intelligence-driven workflows. Through my Palantir Foundry work, I designed and transformed datasets for analytics and reporting, and I built an AI-powered enterprise solution using ontology and conversational AI with business data.

I’m currently studying BSc Honours Security & Network Engineering part-time, and I hold security-focused certifications such as Microsoft Azure Security Technologies (AZ-500) and Microsoft Security Operations Analyst (SC-200). I bring that security mindset into every integration, authentication flow, and data pipeline I build.
