What I'm looking for

I'm seeking internship and graduate opportunities where I can apply my technical knowledge, continue learning, and contribute to organisational growth.

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Wollongong in Dubai, building practical experience across software development, digital marketing, and entrepreneurship.

At Zoftcares Technologies, I gained exposure to software development methodologies, software lifecycle management, and IT operations while working alongside technical teams.

As the founder of Meraki, I manage a custom floral business from branding and budgeting to supplier coordination, customer service, fulfilment, and digital marketing. I've completed over 50 personalised bouquet orders and create marketing content, photography, and promotional videos for Instagram and TikTok.

I'm continuing to develop my skills in Python programming and graphic design, and I'm seeking opportunities to apply my technical knowledge while contributing to organisational growth.
