Commercial brain.
Dev hands.
With a strong background in sales and business development, I know what it takes to understand a customer's problem and deliver a solution that works. After years of building client relationships and driving revenue across industries, I made a deliberate move into software development — because I wanted to be on the side that builds those solutions.
I have completed the AI-Powered Advanced Full Stack Developer Diploma at Mission Ready (Levels 4, 5 & 6 complete, including a 10-week Level 6 industry internship completed in 2026), gaining hands-on experience with React, Node.js, MongoDB, Microsoft Azure, Docker, and OpenAI API integration. I am now looking for a Junior Developer role where I can bring both my technical skills and my commercial instincts to a team building product that makes a real difference.
Based in Auckland, open to relocating anywhere in NZ for the right role. Also still building custom websites for local businesses on the side — every one of them, well — A Hayley Original.
