KEY ACHEIVMENTS

Revenue Growth and Market Expansion 

— I generated over $350,000 each year from more than 50 projects. This includes a $1.5 million Learning Management System (LMS) made with Node.js and a £22,000 custom Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution that combines logistics and e-commerce.
