What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply software development and cloud skills in a collaborative, security-focused team with growth and hands-on problem-solving opportunities.

I am an entry-level software developer with a Level 6 Diploma in Software Development and AWS Cloud Practitioner certification, bringing practical experience in Python, HTML/CSS, JavaScript, API integration, and Agile methodologies. My background in network operations, cybersecurity (Micro Credential in Cyber and Computer Forensics), and logistics gives me a strong focus on secure, efficient system design and operational problem-solving.

I have hands-on experience in data engineering projects, provisioning and maintaining core networks, and leading technical teams and training initiatives that improved response times and team efficiency. I communicate clearly with stakeholders, prioritize data integrity, and am ready to apply my analytical skills and technical training to contribute immediately to a development team.
