What I'm looking for

I am seeking my first professional opportunity as a Junior Web Developer, where I can apply the knowledge gained through my professional training. I am particularly interested in web development, but open to other entry-level IT roles where I can contribute, learn from an experienced team, and develop my technical skills through hands-on experience.

Junior software developer with hands-on experience building web applications and websites, working with databases and low-code (OutSystems) solutions. Comfortable across several programming languages (Java, JavaScript, C/C++) and web technologies. Proactive, adaptable and eager to start a professional career, contribute to a collaborative team and keep growing as a developer. Committed to continuous learning and attention to detail.
