About

I am a software engineer with over 7 years of experience, most recently working at Tech Solutions Inc. My work spans backend development, cloud infrastructure, and API design, with a focus on scalable web applications. I have built and maintained systems using Java, AWS, and Docker, and have experience deploying microservices and managing CI/CD pipelines. My skills include working with RESTful APIs, Kubernetes, and PostgreSQL to deliver reliable and efficient software solutions.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can grow professionally, take on more responsibility and make a meaningful contribution to the team. I enjoy fast-paced environments where I can use my organisational, communication and problem-solving skills. I’m eager to learn, take on new challenges and build a long-term career with a company where I can develop, add value and grow alongside the business.

Experience

BlueAsset Group

Administrative Assistant

BlueAsset Group

Feb 2025 – Present

Supported the CEO and Founder across a wide range of executive, administrative and business operations, acting as a key point of coordination between leadership, clients, advisors and internal teams. Managed a fast-paced and constantly changing workload, ensuring that priorities were organised, deadlines were met and important tasks were followed through to completion. My responsibilities included managing calendars and meetings, coordinating appointments, preparing and organising documents, handling correspondence, maintaining confidential information and assisting with day-to-day business administration. I also supported client onboarding processes, communicated with clients and stakeholders, gathered and organised information, and assisted with various projects and business requirements as they arose. The role required a high level of discretion, attention to detail and initiative, particularly when dealing with sensitive information or urgent requests from senior management. I was trusted to work independently, prioritise competing demands and identify what needed to be handled without constant supervision. I regularly worked across different areas of the business and had to adapt quickly to new responsibilities, systems and processes. This strengthened my ability to problem-solve, communicate professionally, manage multiple priorities and remain calm and organised under pressure. Working closely with the CEO and Founder also gave me valuable exposure to business decision-making and the day-to-day realities of running a company. I learned how to anticipate needs, take ownership of tasks and provide practical support that allowed senior leadership to focus on higher-level priorities.
