Aspiring software developer with expertise in Microsoft technologies.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate software developer with a strong foundation in Microsoft technologies, including C# and SQL. After completing my B.Sc. in Business and Management Studies, I joined Tenderlake, where I have been able to apply my skills in a practical setting. My role involves extracting and processing data from various sources, and I have successfully integrated OpenAI's GPT-4 into our systems, enhancing our capabilities in data summarization and analysis.
During my time at Tenderlake, I have demonstrated end-to-end ownership of projects, from design to deployment. I have developed production-grade applications and optimized SQL stored procedures to improve data management practices. My experience at Infor further solidified my analytical and problem-solving skills, where I contributed to the development of core enterprise applications and improved my communication and project planning abilities.
