What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead automation and software projects, work in collaborative Agile teams, and drive measurable efficiency gains while growing into technical leadership.

I am a Business Information Technology graduate with practical experience building software, automating processes, and designing enterprise solutions that improve operational efficiency.

Over the past 2+ years I have reduced operational inefficiencies by up to 50% through process automation and engineered systems using Python, Java, Django, and CI/CD practices.

I have delivered projects across government, telecoms, and insurance sectors—leading development of inventory and client-management systems, automating reporting workflows, and implementing security and infrastructure improvements.

I am passionate about leveraging emerging technologies to drive measurable business outcomes and lead technical strategy through the full software development lifecycle.
