What I'm looking for

I am seeking a junior programming role where I can apply backend data management skills, work collaboratively, and develop technical expertise in Python, data processing and systems engineering.

I am a responsible, innovative and enthusiastic computer science graduate with hands-on experience handling backend data management of large datasets and a clear focus on starting a career as a Junior Programmer.

During a data analytics internship at ITV I coded in Python on Google Colab using Pandas, MySQL and Seaborn to sanitise, process and display large, unpredictable datasets, demonstrating practical data-cleaning and visualization skills.

I have additional professional experience as an administrator, managing confidential documents, preparing reports, supporting professional correspondence and assisting surveyors with contracts and project tracking, which strengthened my organisation and communication abilities.

My technical toolkit includes Python, Java, SQL and familiarity with web and systems technologies; I contribute well in teams, have taken leadership roles in university projects, and hold Microsoft Office Specialist qualifications.
