What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role where I can combine network engineering and software development to build secure, scalable systems, work in agile teams, and grow into cloud and security leadership.

I am an Associate IT Developer and Network Engineer with hands-on experience designing and maintaining LAN/WAN infrastructure and building full‑stack web applications. I hold a Computer Science degree and CCNA certification and graduated in 12/2024.

I've delivered secure, scalable features and integrations for customer experience platforms, engineered RESTful APIs, and optimized performance across web and voice/chat systems. My work emphasized near-zero downtime deployments and strong security controls.

In network roles I installed, configured, and troubleshot routers, switches, firewalls, access points and fiber cabling, managed DNS, and analyzed traffic to resolve bottlenecks. I also supported hospital network operations and implemented access controls and monitoring.

I collaborate in agile teams, participate in code reviews, and apply analytical problem solving to reduce latency and improve user experience. My portfolio projects include a Django-based e-commerce platform, a socket-based local chat app, and a local network scanner.
