Summary

I graduated from university as one of the top achievers, showcasing my dedication and strong work ethic from the start. My first professional experience was with the police force, where I learned to thrive in high-pressure environments and developed resilience in the face of challenges. Upon relocating to the United Kingdom, I transitioned into the hospitality industry, where I honed my interpersonal skills and cultivated a deep understanding of customer service.

Now, fueled by my passion for technology and a drive for continuous improvement, I am determined to pursue a career as a software developer. I am committed to learning and growing every day, leveraging my diverse background and experiences to excel in the dynamic field of software development.
