Skills
Snapshot of my skills
About me
• Passion for coding since early school years. Competed successfully in school, and then city level programming Olympiads using Pascal language.
• Dived deeper into Computer Science studies - giving me a real grounding in concepts and programming languages (C++, C, ASM to name just a few).
• My Bachelor degree saw me deliver LabView automation for a Laser Research Centre and an automated laser-induced damage measurement system.
• Post-graduation, I pursued IT as a career, building to several roles with HP partners and Hewlett Packard corporation itself. Here I covered a full range in software development, integration and automation, from stakeholder management to requirements-gathering, and designing products - to seeing customers smile and happily perform their roles using my code in production (JavaScript, Java, Jython, Basic, SQL, etc.).
• I saw the security field as an obvious evolution for me - constructing software applications less vulnerable to the actions of malicious actors, and instilling peace of mind for people using them that the tools I am building are safe for them and their companies. Through my security journey, I have interacted with multiple technologies and coding languages (multiple operating systems, CI/CD platforms, containers, service buses, TypeScript, Python, React, MongoDb, etc.).
• I joined Swyftx Crypto Exchange, and was enamoured with crypto and blockchain technology! Now I want to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty in the coding technologies for web3 to write the next chapter for the world with more automation and transparency!
• At present, I am working independently on projects with smart contracts on local, dev and test blockchains involving full stack development. Get in touch to see how we can work together, or have a chat to me about how I might fit a contract need or role.
