What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic work environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can contribute to impactful projects and further develop my skills in software engineering.

I'm a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in computer science, currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science at UWI, Mona. My recent experience includes a contract role at FinstatementsJA, where I contributed to building a report management system for an equity analysis tool, streamlining financial management for a Jamaican company. I designed and implemented ReactJS screens and developed an automated data synchronization system using Python, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.

During my internship at The Palisadoes Foundation, I successfully completed the Calico Challenge and contributed to open-source projects, including talawa-api and talawa-admin. My work involved automating data generation processes and redesigning the organization’s admin dashboard, ensuring that all features were well-documented and met testing requirements. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to delivering high-quality software solutions.
