Where I've built and learned

Fastlink 2025 – 2025
Network Engineering Intern
  • Monitored live network performance across the NOC, escalating faults in real time to maintain uptime across packet core infrastructure.
  • Applied DWDM principles in a production optical transport environment — hands-on with high-capacity WDM deployments.
  • Rotated across Packet Core (mobile network architecture) and Fiber Optics (physical infrastructure & GIS mapping).
Freelance 2023 – Present
Full-Stack Developer
  • Designed and deployed 3 production platforms using Laravel, PHP, JavaScript, MySQL — collectively serving 200+ active users.
  • Optimised database schemas and query performance, reducing load times and improving scalability.
  • Notable platforms: RawazBeauty.store & Wrenthorpe Barber.
