What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level IT support, web administration, or technical assistance role where my troubleshooting instincts and rapid learning translate directly into team results.

I’m a junior web developer and AI tools practitioner with hands-on experience building three deployed web applications, plus formal training from two accredited bootcamps. I’m comfortable owning projects from concept to launch and translating requirements into working, responsive web experiences.

In my freelance work in Cape Town, I designed, built, and deployed 3 web applications—my portfolio site, an equipment-booking platform, and a project dashboard—using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby on Rails. I integrated API connections and AI tools (Claude, Google AI Studio) to reduce manual workflow steps by handling automated responses and data retrieval.

I also bring a strong technical-support mindset. I diagnose and resolve front-end bugs across projects using systematic troubleshooting and browser developer tools, documenting architecture and setup instructions so non-technical stakeholders can manage and update content independently.

Outside development, I’ve led weekly training for a 14+ player youth soccer squad, planning structured drills and adapting in real time as challenges arise. That same diagnostic, rapid-learning approach—whether debugging or adjusting plans under time pressure—helps me deliver results and support teams effectively.
