What I'm looking for

I am seeking an entry-level software development role focused on Android or backend work at a collaborative, learning-oriented team where I can apply Java, Firebase, and algorithms to build user-centric products.

I am an MCA student with practical experience building Android applications and backend integrations using Java, Firebase, MySQL and REST APIs. I focus on clean OOP-based code, responsive Material Design UIs, and reliable real-time data synchronization.

I have delivered projects like LabourMitra, a role-based labour job portal with Firebase Authentication and Realtime Database, and Cookaroo, a recipe discovery app that integrates third-party REST APIs and Firebase-backed features. I have strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and DBMS, and a track record in coding competitions.

I am a quick learner with an agile mindset who enjoys solving problems and shipping user-centric features; I am seeking an entry-level software development role where I can contribute and grow technically.
