About Me

A Problem solver that likes to get things done.

After completing my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Melbourne, I travelled overseas to teach English and become a freelance translator. After getting the travelling and freelancing out of my system I decided to become a software developer and worked as a developer (started 2021 Dec) for a building management SaaS startup which was eventually bought out and merged into a multimillion dollar corporate entity. As an entry level developer I learned very quickly and especially due to unexpected staff turnover, my responsibiliites grew much faster than usual and I had to find practical solutions without much support.

As a freelance translator with experience working with many well-known corporations, I have developed an eye for detail, writing skills, and also exceptional research skills. As a freelancer, I have learnt to work independently but also with stakeholders in cross-cultural and cross-timezone settings which has helped me develop my time management skills and sense of accountability.
