About

Hello, I’m glad you’re here

I’m a computer programming student at George Brown Polytechnic, working toward an Advanced Diploma in Computer Programming. I like building practical, user-focused applications through coursework, team projects, and my capstone. I enjoy working across the stack - especially TypeScript, React, and backend APIs. I learn best by building, debugging, and iterating. I care about writing clean, readable code and shipping software that stays simple, useful, and easy to understand.

Before transitioning into software development, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture at Yıldız Technical University, where I developed strong design thinking, analytical problem-solving, and structured planning skills.

Right now I’m focused on full-stack development with TypeScript, React, and Node.js, plus databases and wiring up complete applications end to end. I’m getting more comfortable with Git, testing, and collaborating on larger projects through team work and capstone milestones. I’m looking for a junior developer role - ideally in full-stack or frontend where I can keep learning and contribute to real-world products.

Goals

Philosophy / Statement of Career Goal

“Science is the most reliable guide in life.”

- Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

How I learn

I learn best by breaking work into small, clear deliverables and improving them step by step. My process is usually build, test, break, fix, and gather feedback before committing too heavily to one direction. That approach helps me stay adaptable and turn challenges into progress.

How I work with others

In team projects like capstone, I value communication, readable code, realistic timelines, and staying organized through Git and documentation. I try to be dependable, open to feedback, and focused on building solutions that make sense not only for me, but for the people working with me.

Where I’m headed

I’m currently working toward a junior developer role, ideally in full-stack or frontend development. My goal is to keep improving through real-world projects, collaboration, and continuous learning, while building software that is clear, reliable, and useful.

Hi there,

I’m writing to apply for a junior developer role with your team. I’m an Advanced Diploma student in Computer Programming at George Brown Polytechnic, with hands-on experience building full-stack apps using TypeScript, React, Node.js, and databases - both in coursework and through my capstone.

I learn by shipping small slices of work, reading docs when I’m stuck, and taking feedback seriously. I’m comfortable with Git, collaborating on group deliverables, and writing code that teammates can follow.

I’d welcome the chance to contribute to real products while continuing to grow. Thank you for your time-I’d be glad to talk more.

Best,

Meriç Yassine
