What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented software engineer currently enrolled in the ALX School of Holberton, where I am honing my skills in software development. My journey in tech began with a strong foundation in programming, which I have applied to various projects, including the development of an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system and contributing to an Airbnb clone project. These experiences have equipped me with a solid understanding of backend and frontend development, using technologies like Django, React, and SQLite.
Professionally, I have served as a Website Developer at TeLHealth, where I focused on creating responsive web designs and leading frontend implementations. Additionally, my role as a Public Health Intern at HeliumHealth allowed me to engage with stakeholders, design presentations, and manage onboarding processes for public health initiatives. My diverse background in both software engineering and public health gives me a unique perspective on developing solutions that address real-world challenges.
Beyond technical skills, I am proficient in project management tools like Figma, Trello, and Slack, and I am committed to delivering high-quality work through meticulous planning and execution. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve healthcare outcomes and am excited to contribute to innovative projects that make a meaningful impact.
