Software engineering student who believes complex systems are built from clear, deliberate decisions — structured, layered, and testable by design. Currently seeking an internship where I can contribute and grow.

About

Methodical by nature.

I'm Victor, a Computing student in Dublin finishing a Higher Diploma in Science in Computing (NFQ Level 8). What drew me to programming wasn't the output, it was the structure. The way a well-designed system holds together under pressure — that's what I find interesting. I'm early in my career, but I take correctness seriously. Every project I've written is layered, testable, and structured by design. Long term, I want to build distributed systems and work at the intersection of software engineering and AI.

What I'm working on

+
OOP in JavaBuilding real CLI systems. Encapsulation, inheritance, separation of concerns.
+
PythonAutomation, data handling, and test suites with pytest.
+
Data structures and algorithmsStudying as part of Sem. 2 curriculum. Arrays, linked lists, complexity analysis.
+
DatabasesRelational models, SQL, and schema design with real data.

Let's talk.

I'm looking for an SDE internship. I take engineering seriously — structured code, proper testing, and a genuine curiosity about how large-scale systems are built. If you're looking for someone who wants to learn fast and contribute meaningfully, I'd like to hear from you.
