Junior Software Engineer,

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated software engineer currently undertaking a Computer Science degree. Since the start of my journey, I have learnt novel technology skills at my work experience and school: relational databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL; and programming languages including Java, Python, C, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Haskell and Golang. I have contributed to various group projects incorporating these skills, and I have been group leader where I have introduced the team to the Agile methodology and testing techniques like TDD, BDD and user stories, and utilised tools such as Jira and Trello to drive our development cycle.

Skilled in Spring MVC, REST, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, CI/CD, functional programming (FP), object-oriented programming (OOP), relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL), NoSQL (MongoDB) and test automation tools (Cucumber, Selenium WebDriver, JMeter).
