What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in blockchain technology and web development. My recent experience as a Trainee Software Engineer at Tracified allowed me to engage in a research-driven development process, where I successfully built a customer-requested 'Social Impact' feature. This involved ensuring data integrity by calculating and securely storing environmental metrics directly on-chain using Stellar and Ethereum blockchain platforms.

Throughout my career, I have developed a range of applications, including a Chrome extension that leverages NLP and ML to enhance YouTube content engagement, and an iOS app for culinary enthusiasts to share recipes. My academic achievements, including multiple awards for excellence and a solid CGPA of 3.58, reflect my commitment to continuous learning and improvement in the field of software engineering.
