What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am a Full Stack Engineer with a strong ownership mindset, proficient in backend technologies and skilled in developing custom applications. My experience spans across various roles, including software engineering and cyber security analysis, where I have demonstrated my ability to lead projects and mentor junior engineers. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a passion for learning and adapting to new technologies.

At The Advertising Co, I developed custom Shopify apps and themes, enhancing client satisfaction through innovative solutions. My tenure at Baker Tilly involved conducting offensive penetration testing, where I utilized my development knowledge to proactively mitigate potential security vulnerabilities. I have also led the development of critical banking systems at Metbank Limited, achieving significant improvements in user experience and operational efficiency.

With a Bachelor of Technology in Information Security and Assurance, I graduated in the top 10% of my class. I am Microsoft Certified as an Azure Developer Associate and have successfully launched several projects, including the Contract Ease MVP and the Laravel Authorizer. I am eager to bring my expertise in software development and my commitment to quality to a forward-thinking organization.
