About Me

As a Software Engineer, I design and develop cutting-edge digital platforms and web products, using technologies such as React.js, GraphQL, and Node.js. I architect components and modules, conduct code reviews, and ensure high-quality deployment. I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including Product, Engineering, DevOps, and AI/Data Science, to foster effective communication and alignment.

I have a Web Development diploma from BrainStation, where I also served as a Teaching Assistant, supporting students in Back-End Web Development, Computer Science, and Full-Stack Development. I have a proven track record of problem-solving, critical thinking, and team building skills. I am passionate about creating innovative and user-friendly web solutions that deliver value and impact.

Education

Software Engineering Diploma

Apr 2022 - Dec 2023 / Brainstation

In BrainStation's Software Engineering bootcamp, I first learned the fundamentals of software engineering and full-stack development, how to build complex websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and how to leverage powerful back-end development technologies to build robust apps.
I started by learning basic understanding of key programming concepts, markup languages, and how to set up my own self-contained development environment. From there, I gained hands-on experience working on collaborative software engineering projects with a range of key development tools and languages, including HTML5, Visual Studio Code, and Jira.
Finally, I learned about back-end development with the necessary skills to become a Full-Stack Developer. Finally, the bootcamp covers DevOps development so I can deploy my projects easily and get an overview of how the deployments work.
