Hi there!
As a passionate software engineer, I specialise in creating high-quality, efficient, and secure software solutions that meet the needs of businesses and organisations.
As a passionate software engineer, I specialise in creating high-quality, efficient, and secure software solutions that meet the needs of businesses and organisations.
I have a strong background in Full Stack Development, and I'm always eager to learn new technologies and stay up-to-date on industry trends. In fact, I'm currently pursuing additional education as a Master's Degree in Computer Science to further develop my skills and knowledge.
As a software developer, I'm dedicated to delivering exceptional results and exceeding my clients' expectations. I take pride in my ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams, communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and consistently deliver projects on-time and within budget.
I'm also very enthusiatic about Cyber Security, and love to work on personal projects in my free time.
Skills I have picked up throughout my career and university.
I'm well versed in all the stages of the development lifecycle. I am proficient in many different technologies like Node.js, React + Next.js, Java + Spring, Python + Django and many more.
At previous jobs, I have designed new features and services to take advantage of the existing infra. Some of them were using tools like Elastic Search, Apache Kafka, Apache Airflow, Hashicorp Vault and Elastic Kibana.
I have worked with a wide variety of databases throughout my coding journey. From relational databases like MySQL and Postgres, to NoSQL ones like MongoDB and Firestore, while using caches like Redis and Memcached.
I have implemented multiple kinds of backend API contracts, both professionally and as a hobby. Some of them are REST + any framework, GraphQL + Apollo with Nexus & Prisma and gRPC with Java & Spring. These enable communication between microservices and the client devices.
I have resolved multiple web application vulnerabilities like API DOS attacks, improper sanitisation and Broken Authentication at my previous jobs in enterprise systems. As a primary backend developer, it was my responsibility to look after all the aspects, especially security, of the services I own.
During my university and for a few hobby projects, I have implemented and applied multiple types of NLP techniques in the real world. Some of these are Sentiment Analysis embedded in real-time in a social media site, Chatbots interfaced with Discord and Telegram bots, and Semantic Similarity to automatically grade students' answers without needing a specific answer key integrated in a full-fledged test taking platform.
Some of the tools I am familiar with and have worked with in the past.
