Data Entry Specialist and junior software support professional focused on accurate research, databases, and reliable client records.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Entry Specialist and junior software & digital support professional who thrives in detail-heavy work. I aim to succeed and grow professionally by using my skills and knowledge to deliver accurate, well-documented results.
In my experience, I conducted and validated web research across diverse platforms, improving project data quality by accurately sourcing and assessing contact information. I’ve also supported continuous improvement by documenting processes and findings, while carefully maintaining confidentiality and attention to detail during data entry and financial/client record updates.
I also build and support practical digital solutions—developing basic applications with Python and C#, and designing a PHP system and a VB.NET trainee marks processing system. With hands-on database and reporting work in MySQL (including querying and report generation), plus web portfolio design using HTML, I bring a steady mix of accuracy, communication, and problem-solving.
