Abdul Waheed

I’m a motivated and hard‑working individual with a strong foundation in computing, full‑stack development, and customer‑facing roles. My career has been shaped by a blend of technical training and hands‑on experience across sales, security, hospitality, and administration—giving me a well‑rounded skill set and the ability to connect with people from all backgrounds.

Through my full‑stack development traineeship and ongoing IT studies, I’ve built solid skills in modern web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, SQL, TypeScript, and backend development. I enjoy solving problems logically, learning new tools quickly, and approaching challenges with a structured, analytical mindset.

Alongside my technical abilities, I bring years of experience in communication‑driven roles—from fundraising and direct sales to customer service and security. These roles strengthened my confidence, professionalism, and ability to stay calm, positive, and focused in fast‑paced environments.

I’m now looking for an entry‑level opportunity where I can grow, contribute to a supportive team, and continue developing both my technical and professional skills. I’m committed, adaptable, and always eager to learn—ready to bring energy, reliability, and a strong work ethic to my next role.

I have built a broad and adaptable career across sales, customer engagement, security, hospitality, and IT, giving me a unique blend of technical capability and strong people skills. I’ve represented major organisations such as Oxfam, Scottish Power, EE, and BT in high‑footfall and door‑to‑door environments, consistently meeting targets through clear communication, confidence, and the ability to build rapport quickly.

My background also includes solid experience in security, where I worked across retail and event settings, managing access control, monitoring environments, and ensuring safety while delivering professional customer service. Earlier roles in hospitality and catering strengthened my teamwork, organisation, and ability to perform under pressure.

Alongside this, I’ve completed a full‑stack development traineeship and further IT studies, gaining hands‑on experience with modern programming languages, frameworks, databases, and API‑driven applications. This technical foundation complements my practical work experience and reflects my commitment to continuous learning and self‑development.

Overall, I bring reliability, strong communication, and a versatile skill set shaped by real‑world experience and technical training—qualities I’m ready to apply in my next role.

I have built a strong foundation in computing, IT systems, and full‑stack development through a combination of formal study, accredited courses, and hands‑on project work. My most relevant qualifications include:
