What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my technical skills.

I am an Associate Software Engineer with a strong foundation in software development and a passion for creating efficient and innovative solutions. My experience at Wattpad Corp. allowed me to collaborate with the User Safety team, where I developed an illegal content management tool using React and Node.js, significantly reducing flagged content review time by 70%. I also refactored the user database with SQL and Python, boosting processing speeds by over 30%.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a proven track record of enhancing team productivity. I streamlined over 15 JIRA and Kanban tickets per sprint, which reduced redundancy and improved clarity, cutting sprint planning time by 20%. My academic background in Computer Science and Professional Writing and Communication has equipped me with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly, further enhancing team collaboration and project outcomes.
