What I'm looking for

I seek backend or full-stack roles where I can build scalable APIs, work with data-driven products, collaborate in agile teams, and continue growing in Java and API engineering.

I am a software developer with a BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science, experienced building RESTful APIs and backend services using PHP/Laravel, Java (Spring Boot), and C++.

During an industrial attachment and remote roles, I developed and optimised software, performed debugging and code reviews, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to improve performance and maintainability.

In a data analyst internship I analysed large datasets, performed data cleansing, and integrated chatbots and RESTful APIs to boost user engagement and support business decisions.

I value clean, testable code, effective collaboration using version control, and continuous learning—evidenced by Spring Boot training and hands-on experience with database integrations and API development.
