Greetings!
I’m Patrick Brown.
I’m a software developer who loves to design and build beautiful,
modern applications for both the web and mobile devices.
teleportedcat@aboutme:~$ cat development.txt
I’m proficient with developing projects in ASP.NET, React Native, and other similar frameworks alongside SQL and No-SQL databases to deliver intuitive software solutions to be hosted on local servers or on cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services.

Education
(Programming)
In this course, I learned the skills to develop using the object oriented language C# to create simple WPF desktop applications and React Native to build basic front-end applications.
I learned how to perform object oriented analysis to convert requirements into detailed designs using UML.
I learned how to query & manage relational databases using SQL and design databases following standard normalisation practices.
Finally, I gained skills ICT analysis skills such as understanding relevant legislation, writing policies/procedures, resolving technical issues, managing workplace cyber-security, and many more.
(Advanced Programming)
In this course, I learned how to use the ASP.NET framework to build full-stack MVC web applications using CSHTML, CSS & JavaScript for the front-end, C# for the back-end, and Entity Framework to build a SQL Server database with a model-first approach.
I learned cloud hosting platforms using Microsoft Azure, including hosting storage, setting backup procedures, managing subscriptions, and hosting web applications with compute and storage.
I deepened my skills in React Native while also learning No-SQL databases such as MongoDB to create a centralised mobile application.
Finally, I furthered my understanding of troubleshooting technical issues, brainstorming IT business solutions, and leading in a team environment.
Skills
Projects
A reservation booking system developed for the fictional restaurant ‘Bean Scene’ while studying at TAFE in 2025.
Built upon ASP.NET Core with MVC design, it allows guests to book reservations, staff to capture analogue bookings, and managers to analyse business activity.
Back-end utilises a SQL database generated with Entity Framework; front-end designed to be mobile-first and includes full authentication/authorisation with role-base access control.
A mobile ordering system for restaurant waitstaff developed for the fictional restaurant ‘Bean Scene’ while studying at TAFE in 2025.
Staff can create orders from menu items to send them to the kitchen, and managers can manage menu items, staff accounts, & view business analytics.
The front-end was planned in Figma and designed in React Native, built for Android mobile devices.
The back-end is a RESTful web API built using ASP.NET Core and allows the front-end to store & retrieve data from a MongoDB database.
