I’m a passionate software developer with a love for problem-solving and continuous learning. Interestingly, coding wasn’t my first dream—I grew up excelling in sports (still an avid football player!) and quiz competitions, always immersed in co-curricular activities. My journey into tech began when I took up Computer Science in school, where I discovered my enthusiasm for logic and structured thinking. That passion solidified further during my undergraduate studies in Computer Science. Currently, I’m working as a Developer at Apple, where I contribute to building scalable and reliable backend systems. One of my key strengths is the ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and frameworks. I’m also diving into machine learning, with a goal to apply it meaningfully in real-world use cases. -------------------- 🔧 Tech Stack: Java, Spring Framework, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Redis, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, JUnit, Git, JSONata, Python, TypeScript, React, MCP, LLM, Gen AI, ML 📚 Strong Foundation In: Data Structures, Algorithms, System Design, Microservices Architecture, Design Patterns, RESTful APIs, Distributed Systems --------------------- If you've made it this far—thank you.
