About Me

As a software engineer with a passion for code, I aspire to oversee the entire software development lifecycle, from testing and deployment to maintenance. I have a strong foundation in full stack (MERN) development, software architecture principles, design patterns, scalability, and maintainability. I recently completed my Master of Science in Advanced Software Engineering from the University of Leicester with a 1st Class Distinction, where I deepen my knowledge and skills in advanced topics such as software engineering management, software quality assurance, and distributed systems. Previously, I worked as a Freelance Web Developer on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, where I successfully created and implemented over 20 cutting-edge web projects by leveraging ReactJS and NodeJS. I also provided valuable assistance and support to more than 8 developers from around the world, contributing to the enhancement of the web development community. Additionally, I led the implementation of TDD methodology in a software development internship at Data Sutram, resulting in a 40% improvement in team development speed. I'm dedicated to choosing the right data structures to boost program performance, and to analyzing and optimizing code for efficiency. I enjoy contributing to transformative projects and excel in software development with outstanding interpersonal, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
