What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level developer role where I can apply JavaScript and web skills, learn from experienced teams, and work on secure, impactful software in a collaborative environment.

I am a motivated, detail-oriented junior software developer with a strong foundation in programming, with a concentration on front end development. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology—Software Development (Python) and maintain a 3.9+ GPA; I am CompTIA Security+ certified and consistently pursue hands-on learning through projects and online coursework.

My practical experience includes Python application development (database access, authentication, and encryption), web development with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React, WordPress, and tooling such as Git, VS Code, Firebase, and Vercel. I bring proven discipline and communication from prior professional roles, and I seek to contribute to high-quality software while growing within collaborative teams.
