Aspiring software developer proficient in Python, C, and JavaScript.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring software developer with a strong foundation in Python, C, and JavaScript/TypeScript. My journey into software development began after a rewarding 10-month experience as a customer support agent in computer networks, where I honed my problem-solving skills and learned the importance of user-centric solutions. I am eager to join a dynamic team where I can contribute to innovative software solutions while continuing to learn and grow in my craft.
Recently, I worked as a back-end developer for SYLA+, an interactive educational content platform. My role involved implementing RESTful APIs using FastAPI and integrating MongoDB to efficiently manage user-generated content. I collaborated with a cross-functional team to enhance user experience and ensure secure user authentication. Additionally, I have developed personal projects, including a maze game and a house chores application, which showcase my ability to apply my skills in real-world scenarios.
