What I'm looking for

I am seeking software engineering or IT roles in collaborative teams where I can grow technically, apply communication and project skills, and take on hands-on responsibilities.

I hold a Higher Diploma in Software Engineering with Honors and I am a graduate eager to apply practical coding skills to real-world problems.

I gained hands-on operational experience at IJRS Solutions overseeing call-centre workflows, managing emails, scheduling, dictation support, and file handling to improve day-to-day efficiency.

As Director of Public Relations for Rotaract APIIT I developed community engagement, managed social media and records, and increased audience interaction; I also co-hosted a weekly radio show, producing researched and engaging content.

I am actively pursuing software engineering and IT roles (and am open to legal secretary opportunities) where I can contribute technical skills, strong communication, and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset.
