Motto: Creativity and Possibilities with technology

I am now seeking experience in a technology environment to build upon my existing skillset and bring my knowledge of computing and cyber security to the organization.
I am more commonly known as the name “StuxieDev” online.

I had to analyse a lot of data every day, so I had to manage my time accordingly. I also had to work heavily within a team and so I had to often lead the team, help others out and be led by other members of the team. I also had to professionally communicate with clients.
