What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a junior software engineering role where I can grow in software development and data analysis—building reliable solutions with strong teamwork, continuous learning, and a focus on data-driven decisions.

I’m a Junior Software Engineer with an academic foundation in Information Technology and hands-on experience supporting users and maintaining systems. In IT Support, I helped staff and students with Microsoft Teams issues, handled hardware updates and troubleshooting, resolved network connection problems, and managed authentication and account setup to keep access secure and compliant.

I bring a strong technical toolkit for building and working with data and applications—Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript (basic), SQL, and React.js—along with database design, querying, and optimization using MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server. I’m actively committed to continuous learning and growth in business/data analysis and software development, using data cleaning, manipulation, and visualization with Excel and Power BI to support strategic decision-making.
