Background & Expertise

I'm a passionate web developer with over 6 years of experience specializing in creating beautiful and dynamic web applications. I have a strong background in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various frameworks like React and Angular. Additionally, I am proficient in Java, Spring Boot, and WordPress (PHP), and have extensive experience with modern web technologies and development tools.

I hold a Master of Computer Science from Cleveland State University (3.9 GPA, May 2023), where I served as a teaching assistant for courses in operating systems and modern computer system design. I also earned my Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering from Don Bosco Institute of Technology in India (August 2020).

Throughout my career, I've developed and designed numerous websites, custom WordPress themes, and plugins. My technical expertise extends to cloud services like AWS and GCP, distributed systems, and microservices including Docker and Kubernetes. I have a solid grasp of CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins and Git, and I'm skilled in database management with MySQL, Oracle, and MongoDB.

In my professional roles, I have significantly improved website functionality and efficiency, enhanced user experience through responsive design, and contributed to SEO and content creation strategies. Notable projects include developing real-time driver surveillance software to enhance road safety and a comprehensive hotel booking website demonstrating full-stack development capabilities.
