Summary

First-year Kingston University BSc Computer Science student with a strong background in programming languages like Python and Java as well as real-world problem-solving and software development expertise. I've also studied a Japanese language module in an effort to further develop my communication and cultural awareness. Leveraging my diverse background, I've worked as a barista for three years, developing my time management, collaboration, and customer service skills in a fast-paced environment. I'm eager to use my cultural understanding and programming experience to a tech position, using my broad skill set to successfully contribute to creative initiatives at organisations that value diversity and global perspectives.
