About Me

Hi, I’m Harper Irwin!

I’m a 20-year-old (while writing this) student currently studying Bachelor of Computer Science (majoring in Software Engineering) at Edith Cowan University. I have a strong interest in software design, software engineering, project management and system analysis and building user-focused applications in general.

Education:

I’ve studied and completed the following units: Applications Development, Applied Communications, Computer Fundamentals, Computer Security, Data Structures, Foundations of Software Engineering, Intelligent Systems, Introduction to Mobile Applications Development, Mathematics for Computing, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, Project Methods and Professionalism, Programming with C++, Professional Science Essentials, Programming Principles, Systems Analysis, Systems and Database Design. The units I prefer most are the more software engineering specific areas rather then computer science in general such as: Systems Analysis, Object-Oriented Analysis and Design, Foundations of Software Engineering etc, with this I hope to pursue a career within this field in the near future but remain having an open-mind.

Skills and Interests:

Programming Languages: Python, C++, SQL, Flutter, Dart, Ruby on Rails (basic),

Soft Skills: Communication, Problem Solving, Leadership, Attentive listening and Adaptability.
