Introduction
My journey into software development start from a deep belief in the power of technology to transform industries, improve lives, and create meaningful user experiences. With a passion for programming and solving complex challenges, I completed an intensive front-end web development bootcamp at the University of Birmingham. This experience provided me with a strong foundation in technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, React.js, and WordPress, enabling me to build efficient, user-focused, and scalable applications.
Following the bootcamp, I joined Haimsa IT as a front-end web development intern, where I applied my skills to real-world projects, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in a collaborative, professional environment. My contributions earned me a contractor position, giving me the opportunity to deepen my expertise in web development and expand my skill set into areas like MySQL database management.
Last year, I began studying for a CertHE in Applied Computing at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David to strengthen my technical knowledge and broaden my understanding of software engineering principles. This blend of academic learning and practical experience drives my commitment to continuous growth and innovation. As I move forward in my career, I am passionate about contributing to impactful projects that harness the potential of technology to deliver outstanding value to users.
