What I'm looking for

I seek an entry-level software development role where I can apply AI, game and web development skills, work collaboratively, and grow through hands-on projects and mentorship.

I am a motivated Computer Science graduate with hands-on experience building AI models and game systems, combining strong programming fundamentals with practical project delivery. I developed a Python-based creative writing assistant using Hugging Face and PyTorch and am building a multiplayer fishing game in Unity using C#.

My education in Computer Science and IT gave me a broad foundation in algorithms, data structures, databases, machine learning and game design, and I bring analytical, adaptable and collaborative soft skills to teams. I seek to apply my technical skills in an entry-level software development role where I can contribute, learn and grow.
