Junior Full-Stack Web Developer

I specialise in building clean, responsive, and data-driven web applications using modern development tools and frameworks.

Through my studies and independent project work, I have gained hands-on experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, and modern frameworks such as Bootstrap, React, Node.js, and Express. My portfolio projects focus on real-world functionality, including RESTful APIs, CRUD operations, asynchronous data handling, and responsive UI design.

I am now seeking an entry-level or junior developer role where I can continue to develop my skills in a professional environment, contribute to real projects, and grow as part of a collaborative development team.
