Accounts Manager

As the Sales and Marketing Representative of HM GIS Ltd, I met with clients and established client requirements. I also had to communicate with clients. As well as communicating with clients, I also advertised the business and its product/service on social media and in addition improved the SEO of the company’s website using HTML, XML and Meta Data.  Furthermore, I also helped design and build the company's website using HTML and then publish it as well as perform any changes needed.
The role also included writing and forming Terms and Conditions Policies, Privacy Policies etc. 

From this role, I gained skills such as social media marketing, and SEO on a very basic level. I also improved my time management, listening, and engagement skills as well.

Sales And Marketing Rep

Submitted and merged first open-source contribution to pandas, a widely used data manipulation library (~60k+ GitHub stars, 400M+ monthly PyPI downloads), contributing to its documentation and developer-facing examples.
Improved documentation for the BYearEnd DateOffset class in pandas/_libs/tslibs/offsets.pyx by rewriting the docstring to include a structured See Also section, removing incorrectly documented private attributes, and adding verified usage examples for forward offsets, backward offsets, custom month targeting, and date range generation.
Independently navigated the full open-source contribution workflow in a large Cython/Meson codebase: forking and building pandas from source on Windows, resolving CI build failures, interpreting numpydoc validation issues (PR02, SA01), validating doctests against a live development build, and iterating through peer review until merge approval.
