What I'm looking for

I’m eager to broaden my skill set and grow, using SQL and coding to solve complex problems. I want a fast-paced team where I can automate processes, follow specifications precisely, and contribute high-quality work.

I’m an enthusiastic, dedicated, results-driven professional who’s consistently committed to learning new skills and tackling complex problems. I thrive in fast-paced or shifting settings, adapt quickly to new concepts, and enjoy building strong working relationships while staying focused and productive.

In my most recent database-focused role, I worked on standardised development projects, maintaining clean, accurate code and querying data with SQL. I integrated automated Python scripts into daily procedures, taught the team, streamlined data handling, and delivered quicker, more accurate work.

I’ve also built and maintained software features in Agile/Scrum environments, developing in C++ and working with payment APIs (VISA and Mastercard) with Git and Bitbucket for source control and review. Earlier, I developed with Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL and integrated the WhatsApp API to create a client demo, and I’ve developed strong process discipline through a client-facing Administrative Officer role handling sensitive documents.
