What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a collaborative, growth-oriented software role focused on web and front-end development, hands-on work with React/Vue/Laravel, improving UX and performance, and opportunities to broaden full-stack skills.

I am an entry-level software developer with over two years of hands-on experience in front-end development, backend logic, and website management. I bring a detail-oriented approach and a passion for building user-centric web solutions using modern frameworks.

In recent roles I managed and optimised a WordPress e-learning platform, improving uptime, usability, and content accessibility by 95%. I led a UI/UX redesign that increased course sign-ups and reduced bounce rate by prioritising user needs and team collaboration.

My technical toolkit includes JavaScript, React.js, Vue.js, Laravel, PHP, MySQL, and frontend frameworks such as Bootstrap and Tailwind, plus design tools like Figma and Photoshop. I also maintain operational reliability through SEO optimisation, image compression, security hardening, and regular backups.

I am eager to transition into a dedicated software development role where I can deepen my framework expertise, contribute to product impact, and grow within a collaborative team that values performance and user experience.
