Johannah Angeline Ruiz

With a robust background in software development and a passion for creating innovative solutions, I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to your dynamic team.

My academic journey began at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, where I earned a degree in Software Development. Prior to this, I honed my foundational knowledge in Communications Technology Management at the Ateneo De Manila University in the Philippines. These educational paths have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of both technical and communicative aspects crucial for product design.

Over the past eight years, I have dedicated myself to enhancing the branding and digital presence of small businesses through innovative design solutions. My work has spanned across various industries, demonstrating my versatility and commitment to excellence. Utilizing a wide array of tools including Photoshop, Figma, React, CSS, and HTML, I have successfully developed engaging and user-centric designs that drive brand recognition and customer engagement.

In addition to my technical prowess, I possess strong communication and critical thinking skills, allowing me to effectively collaborate within teams and adapt to new challenges. My enthusiasm for continuous learning and improvement positions me as a valuable asset to your team.
