About Me

I am a passionate and driven IT graduate with a strong foundation in business systems and software development. I hold a Diploma in Information Technology Management and a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology in Business Systems. I bring an energetic, responsible, and solutions-oriented approach to every task I undertake. My adaptability, creativity and strong interpersonal skills allow me to work well both independently and within a team. I have hands-on experience with COBOL and Mainframe systems, having developed real-world projects such as a Payroll Processing System using GnuCOBOL with DB2/PostgreSQL, where I implemented salary calculations, tax deductions, and automated payslip generation, as well as a COBOL Student Grade Sorter that managed and sorted academic records efficiently. In addition to mainframe development, I have also worked on full-stack web applications, including a To-Do List app using JavaScript, Node.js, and MongoDB Cluster, a Movie Database application built with React (JSX), Node.js, CSS, and JavaScript, and a personal portfolio website developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These projects have strengthened my skills in both frontend and backend development, database management, and version control. I am constantly seeking opportunities to expand my skill set and contribute meaningfully to innovative teams. My commitment to learning, paired with my technical abilities and problem-solving mindset, makes me a strong candidate ready to add value from the skills and knowledge i have.
