About

Hello there!

I'm Shahad, a motivated Aerospace Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester (2023), now transitioning into software development with a deep passion for building meaningful, tech-driven solutions.

Backed by my engineering background and problem-solving mindset, I bring both analytical depth and creativity into my work. During a 1-year Full Stack Development traineeship with IT Career Switch, I built real-world web applications using modern technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, PHP, MySQL, and more.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, love learning new technologies, and enjoy solving complex challenges. I'm currently seeking opportunities to contribute to impactful software projects and collaborate with innovative, forward-thinking teams.
