What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can grow as a developer by building secure web applications, working closely in sprints, improving API performance, and learning best practices from experienced teammates.

I’m a Junior Software Developer with hands-on experience building and maintaining web applications using Node.js, Express, and MySQL. In my recent role at Code Base Solutions, I helped implement RESTful APIs, integrated frontend with backend systems, contributed in Git/GitHub-based collaboration, and supported sprint delivery through code reviews and bug fixes.

I also bring a project-driven mindset from building a robust campus election system and a real-time student management system. My background in Journalism and mass media strengthens how I communicate—whether drafting project proposals, planning content for events like Nights of Code, or coordinating presentations—so I can deliver both solid engineering and clear, user-focused outcomes.
