My tech skills

Thanks to The Odin Project's Foundations Course, I built a strong foundation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, which sparked my passion for web development. And as a proud recipient of a She Codes Plus scholarship, I am now advancing my skills in full-stack development exploring technologies like React, Django Python and SQL to create dynamic, robust web applications. Alongside my technical growth, my certification as a Scrum Master allows me to integrate Agile practices into my work, fostering collaboration, iterative problem-solving, and value-driven outcomes. My journey reflects the synergy between technology and leadership — explore my Agile Journey to see how these skills come together in my projects.

I developed a crowdfunding platform as part of my She Codes Plus course, supporting grassroots cultural programs for Aboriginal children in care. This project allowed me to design and implement a scalable backend architecture using Python and Django Rest Framework, while also exploring frontend development with React.js to create an intuitive and responsive user interface. Through this hands-on experience, I gained deeper technical insights, enhancing my ability as a Scrum Master to empathise with developers, understand their workflows, and better support Agile delivery.

I initiated and developed a Job Application Tracker app using Flask, Bootstrap, and SQLAlchemy to practice my skills and share useful code with my She Codes cohort. The app enables users to track job applications, monitor deadlines, and follow up on opportunities in one convenient location. Building this Flask-based application deepened my understanding of front-end and back-end integration and provided valuable insights into workflows. These experiences enhance my ability as a Scrum Master to support Agile teams in refining processes and optimising delivery.

SKA Observatory work experience image.

As part of the SKAO Astro Tutorials project, I designed simulations for radio telescope arrays,leveraging Python libraries and advanced data visualisation techniques. These simulations enable users to customise telescope configurations, observe galaxies through visualisations, and score observations based on resolution, sensitivity, and UV coverage. I also contributed to refining user interactivity, improving observation scores, and exploring optimal configurations for specific goals. The experience not only expanded my technical skills in data-heavy projects but also equips me as a Scrum Master to foster collaboration across technical disciplines and guide Agile teams in tackling complex, data-driven challenges.
