I have a strong curiosity to understand the totality of processes and strive to grasp the 'big picture' to understand the why, how and what of tasks. I prioritise comprehension over memorisation, seeking to fully understand the task at hand in order to effectively prioritise my focus.

A culture of feedback and open communication is essential to me, as I value insight into areas where I can improve and grow. Preferring to work from home, I use my organisational skills and ability to prioritise tasks efficiently to ensure timely completion of assignments. My quick comprehension allows me to grasp concepts quickly when they are clearly presented, contributing to my independence and ownership of task completion. Driven by determination and conscientiousness, I consistently deliver reliable and high quality work, refusing to give up until tasks are completed to my satisfaction.

I acknowledge my weaknesses, including introversion and shyness, but actively work to overcome these barriers through continuous learning and self-improvement. While small talk may not come naturally to me, I excel at problem solving and communicating effectively when tackling substantive challenges. I also challenge perfectionism by striving for improvement rather than perfection, recognising the importance of progress over perfection. My soft skills, including effective communication, attention to detail and adaptability, complement my technical programming skills.

In addition, my expertise extends to version control with Git and GitHub, deployment with Heroku, Vercel and Render, and database management with SQLite, PostgreSQL and SQL. I am also proficient in UML, wireframes, user stories, and entity-relationship diagrams, which enhances my ability to conceptualise and develop robust software solutions. I use tools such as Sentry, Docker, Celery and PyCharm to ensure the reliability, scalability and efficiency of my projects, while adhering to best practices and industry standards.
