I began my IT career as a front-end developer at Codel systems. My first job entailed working with teams of developers to write apps with varying functionalities from mobile games to search algorithms and malware detection packages. Collaborating with other developers not only honed my coding skills but also taught me the value of how to effectively work with others and subdivide tasks to improve efficiency and ensure smooth teamwork. I then became a cybersecurity technician with Centurion Technologies, designing encryption software and instructing clients in its use. With my experience in software development, cybersecurity and public speaking, I later decided to combine my skills and become a DevOps Engineer at Steward Bank. With me at the helm coordinating development and IT Operations team, I was able to design CI/CD pipelines that improved the company's ability to design, debug and release software by 20%.
