About Me
I am a third-year Software Engineering student at the University of Technology Sydney, with a sub-major in Information Security. My interest in engineering started from a simple curiosity, I wanted to understand how large software systems are actually built, not just use them. That curiosity grew into a genuine passion for designing systems that are reliable, secure, and built to last. During my studies I have developed skills in Java, Python, and SQL, and gained experience applying object-oriented design principles in practical projects, including building a full Java desktop application and working as part of a team on a real client web project using Next.js.
Over my university break, I completed an internship as an Application Developer at the Queensland Government’s Department of Transport and Main Roads, where I worked on real production systems, upgrading a legacy enterprise Java application from Java 8 to Java 17, migrating a live government database from Oracle to PostgreSQL, and working through the full development lifecycle alongside experienced software engineers. It was the kind of hands-on experience that confirmed for me that backend and security-focused engineering is where I want to build my career. I am actively looking for opportunities to keep developing those skills in a professional environment.
