Get to know me
Hi, I'm Annrose Akande — a computer programming graduate and software developer focused on building full-stack applications, while also bringing a strong foundation in technical support and data analysis. I love tackling tech problems from different angles: coding a feature, debugging a broken system, or writing SQL queries to pull backend data insights.
Here's a quick look at my core toolkit:
I've collaborated with teams at Bliss & Giggles and Kinplus Technologies to improve UI/UX, optimize system performance, and deliver reliable technical solutions. Right now, I'm building and documenting a full-stack Job Application Tracker using React, Node.js, and MySQL — sharing progress daily as a way to push my frontend and backend skills together.
I'm actively seeking entry-level opportunities across Software Development, Technical Support, and Data Analyst roles where I can dive in, solve problems, and keep growing.
My Philosophy
Same instinct, every layer: diagnose first, don't guess. Whether it's a router or a broken component, I trace the problem before I touch the fix.
The Mission
Build things that are actually useful — clean interfaces backed by solid, well-documented systems, not just pretty screens.

How I got here
where the wires actually are
Before I wrote a line of front-end code, I was the person fixing the printer, resetting the router, and figuring out why the Wi-Fi dropped mid-meeting — as a Full Stack Developer at Bliss & Giggles and an IT Support Specialist at TD Place. That hands-on troubleshooting instinct — diagnose first, don't guess — is still how I approach every bug I hit today.
formal foundation
Ottawa. This is where the IT-support instincts got structure: data structures, databases, networking theory, and enough Java and Python to stop treating code like a black box. Graduated April 2026 with a much clearer picture of how the whole stack — hardware to UI — actually fits together.
first real ships
This is where "it works on my machine" turned into "it works," full stop. I built RoomieLink, a web app that matches students with compatible roommates, using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, a database, and a full authentication system — and a Job Application Tracker that lets users log in and out securely with JWT tokens while it tracks their applications. This is where I fell for the craft side of the full stack: auth flows that actually hold up, layouts that adapt, and the small details that make an app feel considered.
main
Now I move deliberately between domains — segmenting enterprise networks, working with cloud infrastructure, tuning relational schemas, and shipping React interfaces — because I think the most useful engineers are the ones who understand the whole path a request takes, not just their one layer of it. Outside of that, I write on Substack about the parts of being human that code can't fix.

My academic & hands-on learning journey
Oct 2023 – Mar 2024
My first real-world dive into building websites — a hands-on, school-like stretch where I learned to build responsive UI components and optimize them for production, outside of a classroom.
Graduated April 2026
Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology, Ottawa — full-stack development, databases, networking fundamentals, and software engineering practices.
A few things I've built, organized by what they touch
A web app that matches students with compatible roommates. Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, backed by a database and a full authentication system so users can create and manage their own profiles securely.
Collaborated on a fintech client project focused on expense tracking. Built automated scripts to scrape and process Uber transaction data, feeding it into a system for tracking and analyzing user expenses.
A segmented enterprise network in Cisco Packet Tracer with Router-on-a-Stick inter-VLAN routing, dynamic DHCP, and Extended ACLs enforcing zero-trust isolation between IT, Staff, and Guest networks — verified with live ping tests.
Secure cloud deployment on AWS with least-privilege IAM policies, a custom Security Group restricting SSH to a trusted IP, and an Ubuntu EC2 instance running Nginx with centralized S3 log collection.
A tactical, real-time ops dashboard that watches endpoint health and security threats at once, then lets you act on either without leaving the page. Built as a Flask REST API backed by SQLite, with non-blocking background workers streaming live data to an async-polling frontend.

Normalized database layouts across MySQL and SQL Server Studio, with multi-table JOINs, stored procedures, and index optimization to cut query latency.
Bliss & Giggles Inc
Building and maintaining web features across the stack, with a strong technical-support foundation — end-user troubleshooting, diagnostics, and workflow optimization alongside day-to-day development.
TD Place
Local network maintenance, on-site technical support, and hardware provisioning across venue systems.
What I'm into when I close the laptop (sometimes)
Essays on personal growth, human behavior, and modern social dynamics — the parts of life that don't compile.
Basically the soundtrack to every coding session and every off-day. Non-negotiable.
A good cup and a quiet block of time is really all I need to get lost in a build.
