I am an aspiring Web Developer with a strong foundation in modern web technologies, gained through the IT Career Switch Web Developer Programme. I am proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and SQL, with hands-on experience building responsive, accessible, and user-friendly websites and applications. I successfully delivered two real-world projects demonstrating my technical skills and practical understanding of full-stack development. I transitioned from a career in fraud investigation, where I developed a keen eye for detail, strong analytical thinking, and a methodical approach to problem-solving. These transferable skills have proven valuable in debugging, coding, and building logical, efficient web solutions. I am passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and enjoy collaborating within development teams to solve problems and build effective solutions. Currently, I am seeking a junior developer role to continue learning, contribute to meaningful projects, and grow professionally.
