• Contribute to Shesha, an open-source low-code framework used to build production line-of-business applications
• Rebuilt canvas sizing and zoom behaviour in the Form Designer: auto-fit default, predefined zoom steps, an editable zoom field, and component wrapping that survives a zoom change
• Took on a ticket that had been reassigned twice and was three sprints late, and shipped it after requirements changed mid-way through

• Coached students on study methods and coursework, running group study sessions across the cohort
• Reviewed bootcamp teams' projects against structured evaluation criteria across multiple project cycles
• Gave feedback teams could act on immediately, not just a pass/fail grade

• Intensive software development program covering Python, Java, and modern development practices
• Built through coding challenges, hackathons, and collaborative projects rather than lectures alone

Three years toward a Computer Science degree before leaving to pursue software development directly. Built a foundation in algorithms, software design, and analytical thinking from first principles that still shapes how I approach a system today.
