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.
Years in telecommunications, customer-facing technology, and operations give me a practical perspective on collaboration, communication, and solving problems.
Supported inventory and day-to-day operations while resolving customer, stock, and workflow issues in a fast-paced environment.
Led and trained a six-person telecommunications team, explained technical products to customers, and supported operations and team performance.
Helped customers evaluate consumer technology, recommended products based on their needs, and resolved service questions.
Languages, frameworks, databases, and development tools used across my coursework, technical training, and projects.
I'm interested in software engineering opportunities, thoughtful technical collaborations, and conversations about building useful, dependable technology.
