02. ABOUT ME

A practical approach
to software engineering.

I'm Raymond, a Computer Science student with hands-on experience developing applications using JavaScript, Python, and SQL, alongside Java programming through university coursework. My projects include authentication, API integrations, database-backed features, and responsive interfaces.

Before focusing on software engineering, I worked in telecommunications and technology-focused customer service and leadership roles. Those experiences shaped how I communicate, investigate problems, and consider the people who rely on technology.
