I am a recent graduate from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor's degree in I.T. Systems Development. Throughout my degree, I have proven versatile and driven to learn and develop academically and as a person. I am actively looking for opportunities to grow professionally and extend my programming/I.T. pedigree in an environment where I can thrive and fulfill my potential. I have worked on and excelled in several groups and individual university projects that entailed skills crucial to a professional work setting in the I.T. Industry, which I elaborate on in my resume. I am experienced in developing with several languages, mainly C#, Java, and SQL; additionally, I have some experience with C++ & C. Furthermore, I have developed valuable interpersonal assets and technical knowledge in various subjects during my studies and working on diverse projects. I am bilingual and fluent in English but can also communicate in Arabic in situations where needed. I am also passionate about PC hardware and building PCs when I'm not coding.
