I am a full-stack junior developer. I love combining creativity with technical knowledge and bringing these traits into my coding. Tech has always been a passion of mine. It excites me to see how it changes our lives.

Through my studies in architectural design, I developed an understanding of design principles, user experience, and creative problem-solving. As a result of my experience in spatial planning, conceptual development, and technical drawing, I have a strong foundation in design thinking and attention to detail.

I thrive under pressure and am comfortable working in unstructured environments. My excellent communication skills, adaptability, and organisational abilities enable me to add value in all situations.

Here is my Portfolio

• Curious: My innate curiosity drives my ability to swiftly adapt to new technologies and acquire fresh skills efficiently. I approach novel challenges with enthusiasm, embracing the opportunity to delve into uncharted territories and broaden my knowledge base.

• Problem Solver: Thriving on the intricacies of problem-solving, I am invigorated by the process of dissecting complex issues and crafting effective solutions. My passion for overcoming obstacles motivates me to approach each hurdle with determination, consistently seeking innovative paths to resolution.

• Excellent communicator: Throughout my professional journey, predominantly in client-facing roles, I have honed my ability to deeply comprehend client requirements. By actively listening and deftly managing expectations, I have established a strong rapport with clients. This has enabled me to not only meet their needs effectively but also ensure a harmonious working relationship.

• Creative: My background in architecture has imbued me with a unique approach to creativity in problem-solving. I have cultivated the skill of thinking laterally when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. This lateral thinking, coupled with my architectural training, has allowed me to devise inventive solutions that often transcend conventional boundaries.

• Attention to detail: My experiences delivering high-end architectural projects have honed my ability to maintain an unwavering attention to detail. This meticulousness has seamlessly transitioned into my coding journey, allowing me to produce clean and precise code. The ability to identify and rectify even the minutest discrepancies is a cornerstone of my work ethic.
