What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Backend Developer Internship where I can contribute to real-world projects, learn from experienced developers, and continue building practical backend development skills.

I built a full-stack website for Tshwane Leadership Foundation, implementing authentication, an admin dashboard, donation processing, contact forms, programme pages, and database integration with PHP and MySQL.

I'm a final-year Diploma in Information Technology (Software Development) student with hands-on experience across C#, .NET, SQL, web development, mobile applications, desktop applications, and database-driven systems. I collaborate on requirements, testing, debugging, troubleshooting, and GitHub-based version control.

My projects include a C# WPF Contract Claim System for lecturer claim workflows, a C# cybersecurity awareness chatbot with keyword recognition and sentiment analysis, and PocketPlan, a Kotlin student budgeting application.

I'm keen to contribute to real-world backend projects while continuing to grow through Agile practices, cloud fundamentals, and practical software development.
