My Personal Interests
On my days off, I enjoy the following:
Programming Languages
I've gained practical experience with a variety of programming paradigms. From Object-Oriented,
Procedural, to Functional programming. This diverse exposure has further sharpened my ability to
tackle complex challenges, fostering an innovative approach in order to develop solutions in different
technological domains.
Database Management
My experience with Data Management has equipped me with the skills to develop and manage Databases in both traditional relational databases & modern NoSQL systems. I've not only designed relational models and structured schemas with SQL in order to form the backbone of reliable data storage systems, but I've dealt with DynamoDB(AWS) & Firestore(Google) to provide a scalable & serverless database solutions for flexibility & real-time performance in cloud environments. With this, I'm able to extract valuable insights which facilitate data-driven decision making.
Software Developmental Tools
My arsenal includes a range of development environments and tools, from traditional IDEs for application development, version control systems, to modern frameworks and servers. Skilled in utilizing Apache Tomcat for deploying web applications & React for dynamic client-side interfaces. Git & Github reflect a commitment to version control & collaborative development. The use of Maven-Apache & JUnit for building & testing applications shows my dedication for efficient & reliable software development practices. All which help me write, test, & debug code in order to maintain code quality.
Cloud Computing & DevOps
Experienced with scalable cloud solution architectures like AWS and Google Cloud(GCP). AWS in utilizing Lambda for example for serverless computing & DynamoDB for NoSQL Data storage solutions. GCP technologies like Firebase for app development and Firestore for real-time database management. Skilled in DevOps practices with tools like Jenkins for automating deployment and infrastructure, and Jira to enhance project management and Agile/Scrum practices.
Mobile Development
Skilled in developing multi-platform mobile applications using Flutter, Dart, and React Native focusing on seamless user experience and integration of native functionality. Utilize native APIs in order to deliver UX & a robust application performance across Android & iOS devices.
