What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on software development role where I can build full-stack applications, continue learning new technologies, contribute to product improvement, and work within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am an IT graduate with a Diploma in Information Technology from Richfield Institution and practical experience building production-ready web applications and dashboards.

During internships I developed a real-time React + Spring Boot + MySQL dashboard, redesigned mobile interfaces using Figma, and contributed to Node.js backends and frontends, demonstrating quick adaptation to new technologies.

I created example Cardano smart contracts using Aiken and Lucid, produced tutorial videos and documentation to onboard new developers, and built a meeting-minutes app using Vanilla JS and PHP.

I hold the Oracle Java SE 8 Programmer I certification (95%) and completed intensive Java SE training, combining strong problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills with hands-on development experience.
