What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can grow as a Software Developer and contribute to innovative projects.

As a Master of Science student in Computer Science at University College Dublin, I have developed a strong foundation in full-stack development and data-driven application design. My academic projects have honed my skills in building and deploying web applications using technologies such as Python, Flask, SQL, HTML, and JavaScript. I pride myself on being a quick learner with excellent teamwork and communication skills, which I believe are essential in a collaborative engineering environment.

My experience as a Shift Leader at Footlocker and a Department Manager at Decathlon has equipped me with valuable management skills and the ability to thrive in fast-paced settings. I have consistently ranked high in sales performance and maintained a 100% customer satisfaction rate, demonstrating my commitment to excellence. I am eager to apply my technical skills in a Software Developer Intern role, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue my professional growth.
