When I think about what I bring to a team, it’s a combination of curiosity, technical skill, and a genuine passion for building things that matter. I love diving into complex problems, breaking them down, and creating solutions that feel intuitive and impactful. Whether I’m optimising pipelines, designing dashboards, or experimenting with AI-driven tools, I always try to approach my work with clarity, creativity, and a desire to make the end experience better for someone.

I’m also someone who thrives around people. Communication, collaboration, and community are huge parts of who I am. I’ve led initiatives such as Magee Women in STEM, organised events including the Redefine Possible conference, and spoken at professional events, sharing my journey and lessons learned. These experiences have shaped me into someone who listens well, speaks confidently, and brings an encouraging, supportive energy into any room.

But beyond the soft skills, I’m deeply committed to growing technically. I’ve built real systems at Liberty IT, contributed to cloud-based projects, and earned certifications that strengthen my understanding of AWS, security, and modern development practices. I love learning new tools, taking on challenges, and pushing myself into spaces that broaden my perspective — whether that’s travelling for hackathons, volunteering internationally, or building ambitious projects at home.

Above all, I care. I care about doing good work, lifting others up, making tech more inclusive, and contributing to teams in a meaningful way. Suppose you’re looking for someone who brings a mix of technical expertise, strong communication, leadership experience, and a genuinely positive mindset. In that case, I’m confident I can bring value, energy, and impact to your team.
