About Me

As a Software Engineer with over a year of industry experience, I specialize in developing, testing, and debugging high-quality software projects. My expertise spans building and deploying scalable serverless applications on AWS, and I am proficient in a range of programming languages and frameworks including JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python, C++, React.js, and Node.js.

I have a proven track record in leading complex projects under pressure, evidenced by my win at WinHacks 2024 for developing a MERN stack-based e-commerce website. With over 600 LeetCode problems solved, I possess strong problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of data structures and algorithms.

In my professional journey, I have successfully integrated CI/CD pipelines, enhanced database architectures, and implemented comprehensive testing strategies. My hands-on experience includes deploying AWS cloud services and developing feature-rich RESTful APIs.

Beyond technical skills, I am an excellent communicator and team player, constantly seeking opportunities to grow and contribute to innovative projects. My proactive approach to learning and staying updated with industry trends ensures that I bring the latest and most effective solutions to any project.
