I have been driven to become a full-stack junior web developer by my obsession with learning and exploration. In light of the endlessly evolving possibilities and challenges we encounter as developers, I feel it's a perfect occupation for me.
I believe technology can be harnessed for the advancement of all. I feel passionately about creating content that is more diverse and inclusive, playing my part in clearing space, creating opportunities and encouraging a culture where minorities can take their place in the new future our technologies are forging.

| Name | Description | Technology | Skill |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deloitte Digital Project Bid Tool | A central repository for collating bid data | Java, ElasticSearch, JUnit, Spring Framework, Jira | I decided I wanted to build up more backend skills as a developer so I switched teams to an internal project focusing on backend and databases. I was able to apply my previous skills as a developer to make a smooth transition. |
| Deloitte Digital Internal News Mobile App | An internal news collation and subscription service. | Swift, XCode, SourceTree, HockeyApp | I worked on this internal company project in a team of two mobile developers for around 4 months. We inherited some very challenging legacy code. The experience elevated my learning as an iOS developer rapidly. |
| Educational Mobile App | An educational game app for iPads. Client project for a charity, hired through Deloitte Digital. | Swift, XCode, SourceTree, HockeyApp | This was the first professional app I built and my first time writing in Swift. It was built from scratch within 6 weeks with a team of two (a senior mobile developer and I). We met all MVP's set to deadlines and the client was extremely happy with the final project. |
| MADE to Help | An accessibility navigation mobile app | React Native, Expo, Jest, Enzyme, Detox | Together with my team, I drew on my familiarity with the concepts and structures that underlie most frameworks to build a complex program using tools unknown to us all – React Native and new testing frameworks – within two weeks. |
| Tela | Facebook replica | Rails, Devise, Travis CI, Heroku, AWS, Rubocop, Simplecov | I was designated the task of setting up continuous deployment. I configured a pipeline from our local servers to our Github repo and through Travis CI to deploy from Heroku. After I set this up, I gave a tutorial to my teammates. They were then able to migrate from Heroku to AWS as later requested by our "client"; while they learned the deployment process, I took over their role of writing CRUD methods so they could learn the deployment process and provided support where necessary. |
| Kangaroo Makers AirBnB | AirBnB replica | Node.js, Zombie, Jasmine, MongoDB | Among other tasks, I set up the testing frameworks for this project. I received feedback from teammates that I was supportive, positive and motivated, with strong compliance to agile software development. Note: due to a computer failure, most of my commits are under my partner's name, NadiaAiraf. |
| Bank Tech Test | A REPL bank program | Ruby, RSpec, Simplecov, Rubocop | I developed this program adhering strictly to TDD, and refactored the code to make it as clean and simple to build and use as possible. I utilise TDD in my process as it enables me to break problems down into small steps, and guides my workflow. |
