Aspiring Software Engineer
I am a final year undergraduate software engineering student at the University of Technology Sydney. From a young age, I've been motivated and passionate about challenges in the digital space, with tinkering in web-development and robotics in high school inspiring me to become a software engineer. Among my many interests, I co-founded a digital agency in 2018 and have since assisted countless small local businesses.
Some of my Achievements.
Why should I be a part of your team?
Leader
Strong leadership experience demonstrated through running a digital agency managing a small team.
Problem Solver
Passionate for challenged as demonstrated through my extracurricular involvement within FIRST robotics, creating specialised mechanisms to solve complex challenges.
Strong Communicator
Great communicator having to frequently discuss upcoming projects with business owners and communicating with team members from various previous roles.
Creative
Creatively minded as shown from my involvements with front-end development at Otheus, creating visually appealing websites.
Teamwork and Leadership
Throughout my journey of becoming a software engineering graduate, I’ve been able to consistently demonstrate my leadership and teamwork capabilities.
In 2016 I was part of an extracurricular robotics competition where our teamwork efforts ultimately contributed to my team competing within the finals in Houston Texas in 2017 as part of a school funded event. You can find out more through an article published by The Daily Telegraph.
In late 2018 my business partner and I founded Otheus, a digital agency start-up which aimed to help small business owners gain access to the online digital space through web development, branding and marketing services. This experience has taught and developed my communication and teamwork skills through engaging with business owners who face real world challenges.
Professional Experience
My most valuable experience as a software engineer came from my time running Otheus, an online digital agency. The company focuses on providing web development, branding, and marketing services to other small to medium-sized Australian businesses.
Through interacting with clients and team members, the experience of running an agency has taught me valuable communication and management skills. The experience has also allowed me to significantly improve my technical skill set through hands-on experience, allowing me to solve real-world work problems with software and seeing the challenges that other business owners face on a daily basis. Some of the businesses I’ve been able to assist are listed below:
Personal Goals
My short-term goals as a software engineer are to continue learning and developing my technical skillset, to understand why we build software the way we do, and to generally become better at my craft.
In the long-term, I hope to use the skills I’ve gained to contribute to something on a much larger scale, such as expanding my digital agency and delving into different kinds of software development.
Maintaining professional Currency
Although I do not intend to pursue further university studies at this time, I intend to continuously develop my skill set through practical applications and additional training in the form of online courses or those provided by an employer.
Commitment
My commitment to the engineering profession includes professional communication with engineering peers as well as membership within Engineers Australia. In the long run, as my technical skill set expands, I am confident that I will use these abilities to help individuals and businesses.
