My name is Munaa. I am a seasoned professional with over 10 years of experience as a geologist, specializing in resource geology within the coal mining industry. Since 2019, I’ve transitioned into software engineering, with a focus on front-end web application development. I have hands-on experience building responsive, user-friendly interfaces using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React. In my previous role, I contributed to an e-commerce project as a front-end developer, where I honed my skills in UI/UX design and interactive web technologies.
In addition to landscaper, I worked at Houston Landscapes in Vancouver from October 2023 to December 2024. During that time, I was recognized twice as a "HorseWorker" and promoted to lead a team of coworkers by the end of 2024—a testament to my work ethic, leadership, and adaptability.
Currently, I am expanding my back-end skills by learning PHP and MySQL. I’m actively developing a car marketplace project, further strengthening my full-stack capabilities. My unique blend of geoscience expertise, hands-on software development, and practical team leadership makes me a versatile and resourceful contributor to any team or project.
I live in Calgary AB, Canada.
I am coding Javascript, React, Nextjs, and PHP.
