What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, learning-focused software engineering role where I can contribute to full-stack development, apply AI/automation, and grow in scalable system design.

I am an aspiring software engineer with hands-on experience in full-stack development, AI integration, and IT infrastructure. I have built web and desktop applications using PHP/Laravel, the MERN stack, and .NET, and I apply SDLC and Agile practices in project delivery.

In practical roles I developed and debugged web applications, performed hardware and network troubleshooting, and managed student and course records to improve data accuracy and reduce downtime. I have led back-end development for a sentiment analysis desktop app integrating Deepgram AI and built a MERN reservation system to streamline event scheduling.

I served as Scrum Master on a mobile attendance app project, coordinated scrum activities in classroom projects, and modernized course materials to reflect industry practices. My certifications in system administration, Windows Server management, and C# for .NET complement strong UI/UX, database, and networking knowledge.

I am recognized for academic excellence and leadership, and I bring collaborative problem-solving, clear communication, and a results-driven mindset to teams seeking scalable, user-centered software solutions.
