What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation.

As a dedicated Software Engineer and Web Developer with over 3 years of experience, I have honed my skills in building responsive websites and optimizing web performance. My journey has taken me from resolving IT issues in government offices to developing and designing websites for international clients. I am passionate about enhancing user experience and driving digital growth through effective SEO strategies, ensuring seamless IT operations and high-performing websites.

At DigiZeal, I developed and maintained over 15 websites, implementing mobile-responsive designs and improving transaction efficiency through the development of POS systems. My role as a Web Designer at Digital Links Technology allowed me to optimize WordPress websites, significantly improving page load speeds and increasing website traffic through strategic SEO enhancements. I thrive in collaborative environments, utilizing tools like Git and GitHub for version control and project management.
