John Shanahan

About

I have recently graduated with a Bachelor's of Information Technology, majoring in Computer Science. I currently work part time in a back-end developer / support role for a small business. I also work as a Software Developer for a start-up company based in the USA. These two roles, along with my university studies, have provided me with a broad range of experience across the IT sector. From back-end application, web hosting and data analysis with python, to writing automated trading algorithms using MQL5/C++.

I have a passion for solving complex problems and optimizing systems to improve efficiency and performance. My experience has equipped me with a versatile skill set, allowing me to adapt quickly to new challenges and technologies. I am committed to continuous learning and frequently explore new areas, particularly in automation and process optimization. I actively seek opportunities to expand my knowledge, enhance my skills and apply them to innovative projects that leverage automation to drive progress and efficiency.
