What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that challenge me to grow as a developer in a collaborative environment.

I am an undergraduate student pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering at COMSATS University Islamabad. My journey in software development has been fueled by a strong commitment to continuous improvement and a passion for hands-on learning. I am eager to expand my experience in real-world software development environments and strengthen my technical skills.

Throughout my academic career, I have explored various technologies and tools, including Java, C++, Python, and SQL. I have developed several projects, such as a BMI-based health tracker and a price comparison tool, which have allowed me to apply fundamental data structures and algorithms. My experience with Agile methodology and task management using Jira has further prepared me for collaborative work in software development.
