What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can leverage my analytics and database skills, grow through challenging projects, and contribute to a dynamic team building reliable software and solving real problems.

I am a motivated IT and management graduate with a strong foundation in software development, network administration, and data analysis. I’m eager to turn my coursework in data structures, theoretical algorithms, and object-oriented development into practical impact in a dynamic team.

I’ve developed multiple real-life systems, including a clinic patient management system, a university gym management application, and an orphanage management system. Across these projects, I strengthened requirement analysis, process modelling, database design, and system design—while collaborating with a group to plan and deliver working features.

I also bring a technical toolkit that includes HTML, Node.js, React, Python, C++, C#, Java, and SQL, alongside database and networking fundamentals. Through Cisco-issued training and hands-on development using Git and GitHub, I’ve built confidence in coding, version control, and shipping user-focused solutions—and I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can keep growing.
