What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level full-stack development role at a leading tech company where I can contribute to impactful products while expanding my technical expertise.

I've built full-stack web applications including a MERN travel blog where users can upload photos and create posts, with MongoDB CRUD operations and user customization.

I also created a responsive Egg Timer website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, featuring an interactive interface and multiple cooking-duration options. My software development training covers front-end and back-end development, APIs, web accessibility, and UX/UI design.

Alongside development, I've led optometric pre-testing workflows, trained patients, resolved complex issues, and collaborated closely with optometrists. I'm seeking an entry-level full-stack development role where I can contribute to impactful products and keep expanding my technical expertise.
