Naween Samad

Aspiring Software Engineer

From TAFE to UTS: Passionate about full-stack development, clean code practices, and building real-world software solutions.

About Me

Technology student with a strong foundation in software development, built through TAFE qualifications and my current Bachelor of Information Technology studies at UTS. I enjoy turning ideas into working web applications and understanding how things work behind the scenes.

I’ve worked across the full stack – from HTML/CSS/JavaScript on the front end to PHP, Node.js and databases on the back end – with a focus on clean code, version control and real-world projects. I’m motivated, detail-oriented, and always looking to learn new tools and best practices.
