What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can build full-stack web features, improve quality through testing, and work with modern JavaScript/Node.js and databases using Agile practices.

I’m a Computer Science and Engineering student building practical web solutions, backed by hands-on training in frontend development practices and Node.js development. I focus on creating responsive, interactive user experiences and turning requirements into working features.

My project work includes a full-stack e-commerce makeup store using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, as well as a MERN-stack booking app built with React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. I also apply Agile (Scrum) through use case and architecture diagramming to keep planning and teamwork organized.

I’ve supported real users through experience as an English Language Corner teacher assistant and an Intern at BPB Junior Program. At BPB, I completed banking training and gained hands-on exposure to customer service and branch operations, strengthening my communication and reliability.

I combine development with quality and data skills: I performed manual testing for a staff management system (QA) and designed a travel booking database with SQL, including ERD, schema, queries, and stored procedures. I’m motivated to keep growing while delivering dependable software.
