David Mackey-Ward Email & Phone Number

Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I'm David, a dedicated software developer with a passion for tennis, basketball, and learning. I specialize in software development, with expertise in web development and testing.Software Development is an incredible industry and doing the bare minimum is not I'm not interested in doing. When I am given a task, I want to contribute to the best of my ability, and to do this I actively seek out opportunities to learn and grow.As a graduate from Yoobee College of Creative Innovation, I accelerated my career in software development. The first year of the program equipped me with a strong foundation in programming, including HTML, CSS, C++, and the Qt framework, while the second year focused on Python, Flask, Django, and AWS deployment. Additionally, I gained valuable insights into the software development lifecycle, emphasizing the importance of documentation (SRS, use-case diagrams, and UI/UX research). I have also honed my communication and teamwork skills through past experiences as a Digital Technology teacher at Papakura High School, where I successfully created a comfortable learning environment for students.Outside of my formal studies I enjoy getting involved with the software community, through dev meetups, Microsoft Student Accelerator, Summer of Tech, reddit communities and so on.Feel free to connect with me if you'd like to discuss software development or share your experiences!
