Graduate/Entry Level Javascript Engineer

Hello I am Helena, a Computer Science graduate who enjoys building systems that have to work properly in the real world. I’ve worked on projects ranging from an audited chemical inventory platform for UCL’s Chemistry Department to internal automation tools during a software engineering internship, where I collaborated closely with other engineers to ship practical solutions.

I’m exploring early-career software and technology roles where engineering decisions matter, especially in data-heavy or infrastructure-focused environments. I'm interested in teams that value ownership, curiosity, and thoughtful system design.
