What I'm looking for

When I look for a developer role, my main focus is finding a team that prioritizes growth over titles. I look for strong mentorship, thoughtful code reviews, and a culture where asking questions is encouraged. Working with a modern tech stack, having psychological safety to learn from mistakes, and getting the chance to own full features end-to-end are what matter most to me.

Career & Technical Background I am a dedicated Junior Software Developer and IT Graduate with hands-on experience building real-time, API-driven web applications and dynamic dashboards. My technical repertoire spans core programming and web technologies—including Python, JavaScript, C, SQL, HTML5, and CSS3—supported by strong foundational computer science principles from Harvard's CS50 curriculum.

Throughout my academic and project-based work, I have focused on solving practical problems by turning complex external data feeds into responsive, intuitive user interfaces:

ForexMarket Time Dashboard: Built a Web-based application to track and display real-time currency and commodity data by integrating live financial market APIs.
CryptoVision Platform: Developed an interactive cryptocurrency platform utilizing the CoinGecko API to process market capitalization, live pricing, and performance metrics with customized search and filtering features.
Engineering Capabilities: Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, API integration, debugging, and troubleshooting using tools like Git, GitHub, and Visual Studio Code.

Interests & Hiring Fit I am deeply interested in full-stack web development, financial technology (FinTech), data visualization, and real-time systems. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my problem-solving skills to build scalable, data-driven applications that deliver clean user experiences.

I am looking for an opportunity within a collaborative engineering team—whether in a Junior Software Developer, IT Support, or Graduate Programme role—where I can contribute immediately, receive strong mentorship, and take ownership of impactful projects.
