Full-Stack Developer

Computer and Data Science Graduate


About me

Hey! 🤠 As a recent graduate of Rutgers University - New Brunswick, my passion lies in the world of computer science and engineering. During my time at Rutgers, I have graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science alongside a minor in data science.

I am currently open to work, looking to apply my skills in various fields ranging from software engineering, data analytics, and information technology. In the meantime, I am working part-time as the center director and chief hiring manager at Code Ninjas Bridgewater (and previously the Green Brook and Hillsborough centers). In this role, I spearhead a wide array of critical operations. I excel in strategic personnel management, meticulously conducting the hiring, screening, and training of over 40 team members. Furthermore, I leverage my expertise in information technology and web development to successfully help manage the business's online presence, optimize SEO strategies, and manage web traffic.

Many of my personal projects revolve around the concept of full-stack web development and user interface/experience design. I am well versed with front-end technologies including HTML/CSS and using frameworks such as Bootstrap for enhanced responsiveness. For back-end, I primarily work with JavaScript/Node.JS and Express. I also have experience with Google's Android Open-Source Project, crafting mobile applications using Java and XML via the Android SDK, and have experience with rooting and installing third-party kernel software for Android devices via the Magisk framework.

Beyond web and mobile development, some more niche interests I have include Discord bot development using DiscordJS, mechanical keyboard design and programming with Fusion360 and QMK, standalone application development in Java, cloud architecture and computing using virtual servers, digital graphic design with Adobe Photoshop, and working with ARM microprocessors on DIY projects.
