Aspiring software developer with strong skills in web technologies.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated software developer with a strong foundation in both front-end and back-end web development. My journey began during my university days, where I honed my skills in various technologies, including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Python. I have a passion for creating efficient and user-friendly applications, which I demonstrated during my tenure at JamboPay, where I contributed to the County E-Revenue Management System.
At JamboPay, I was involved in multiple aspects of software development, from database modeling and API architecture to UI enhancements and performance optimization. My experience in Agile development allowed me to adapt quickly to changing requirements, and I took pride in collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions. I also have a strong commitment to continuous learning, as evidenced by my certifications in AWS and Cisco CCNA.
As I look to advance my career, I am eager to join a dynamic team where I can leverage my skills in software development and contribute to innovative projects. I thrive in environments that encourage collaboration and creativity, and I am excited about the opportunity to grow alongside talented professionals.
