I'm a Developer.

About

Enthusiastic about the art of programming and invigorated by the thrill of continuous learning and problem-solving, I am a dedicated full-stack developer with hands-on experience. Formerly an accomplished researcher and educator, I reveled in the positive influence of my research endeavors. Yet, despite the gratification, a certain distance from direct impact left me yearning for more. I then discovered the world of programming —a realm where I can marry my zest for knowledge with immediate, tangible impact— and was captivated from the moment I coded my first 'Hello World' app.

The fusion of my educational background and research acumen equipped me to rapidly embrace the fundamentals of programming and a spectrum of languages including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Apex, and Java. My self-guided journey encompassed an array of resources —documentation, web tutorials, video guides, and various immersive courses— fueling my passion for mastering the craft.

Further propelling my prowess, I successfully completed two rigorous, instructor-led study programs, accumulating over 760 immersive training hours. These deep dives into front-end and back-end development fortified my skills and enriched my proficiency. I’ve developed two full-stack, two back-end, and a few front-end projects—a testament to my unwavering commitment.

Yet, it's not just coding that propels me. The dimensions of project management, team collaboration, and troubleshooting have become woven into my professional tapestry through diverse experiences. Energized by the synergy of my journey, I eagerly anticipate the prospect of harnessing my experience and training to develop real-world software programs.
