Motivated and solutions-focused Business Computing graduate with over 10 years of professional experience and a proven ability to adapt and thrive in high-pressure environments. Returning to study to pursue a career in software development, I bring strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills. I have experience with languages such as C#, Python, and SQL, as well as front-end development, and have built full-stack projects using industry-relevant tools and practices. Passionate about continuous improvement and software quality, I aim to contribute to high-performing teams and deliver robust, user-focused solutions.
