TL;DR: I am actively seeking employment for entry level and junior software developer roles whether full stack, backend or SRE focused. I am available to start work in March 2025 and I am open to remote / hybrid / onsite roles, although I would require a visa sponsorship for onsite roles. Check out my Resume and Portfolio and you can contact me through my email.
My Experience
Hi, my name’s Esther and I am a Software Developer Intern working on Wiki Education’s project "Improve observability of Wiki Education Dashboard" as an Outreachy participant.
Including my current Internship, I have 9 months formal working experience (6 months hybrid and 3 months fully remote). I also have around 5 and counting months experience in the open source space.
My work in the Wiki Education Dashboard falls under Site Reliability Engineering and Full Stack Development and my day to day involves a copious amount of debugging, documentation and research. See the technical guide I wrote for the Dashboard and my WikiEduDashboard commit history for a clearer picture. My work on the Dashboard has been a very rewarding and eye-opening experience so far.
My Career Goals
I am currently a full stack engineer - backend focused and I intend to continue exploring a mix of backend engineering, DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering. I have dabbled in C#, Python, Node.js, JavaScript, HTML and CSS and I am currently working with Ruby on Rails and React at my internship. I am also an AI enthusiast and I have some experience building machine learning models for prediction and analysis with Python.
I like to think of myself as a generalist and as such I intend on exploring various fields within the technological space especially since I am just starting out in my career. I would like to work in an organization that makes an impact, someway, somehow or somewhere because by extension I would be making meaningful impact too.
Why You Should Hire Me
- I have experience understanding and debugging large codebases from my previous internships
- I have experience collaborating with remote teams and in varied time zones
- It sounds cliché but I am a fast learner and painstakingly detail oriented, so for example, the chances of me breaking production are very low ( but never zero🙃).
- I work well with deadlines and I take responsibility for tasks that I am assigned
- Most importantly, I have unlimited potential. My goal is to be a 2x dev, 4x, 6x, 8x and even 10x dev in the long run
- I graduated with a first class Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science in mid 2024
- I am fluent in English and I am also open to learning other languages — I did French IGCSEs and I understand Korean at a beginner level
- I read a lot so my mind is quite imaginative

If you read this to the end, thank you ✨.
A fun fact about me to part with; one of my life goals is to rear a cow and make my own milk, ergo my own cheese and butter - Mozzarella cheese prices are crazy!
