🚀 Technical Skills

  • Cloud Enthusiast:

    I have a strong appreciation for cloud technologies and am dedicated to learning and deploying with Azure and AWS. Using cloud resources, I aim to make applications scalable, secure and resilient.

  • Full-Stack Development:

    Experienced in building multi-role applications using ASP.NET Core MVC, where users have specific functionalities depending on their roles. My projects emphasise streamlined workflows, role-based permissions, and transparent status tracking, with a strong focus on data integrity and security. Additionally, I have experience in building full-scale native apps in Android Studio.

  • Frontend Development:

    With expertise in JavaScript frameworks such as Angular and the MERN stack, I create intuitive and responsive user interfaces that enhance user experience and meet the specific needs of every project.

  • Backend Development:

    I’m skilled in handling data and optimising server-side processes. My experience includes:

    • SQL: Proficient with SQL Server, Oracle SQL, SQLite and MySQL- enabling me to design efficient databases and write optimised queries.

    • MongoDB: Leveraging NoSQL capabilities for flexible data storage solutions.


💡 Key Projects

  • Cloud-Native Solutions (Azure & AWS):

    Architected and deployed scalable applications leveraging a multi-cloud approach. Key implementations include:

    • Storage & Databases: Utilising AWS S3 for secure object storage and RDS for managed relational data.

    • Messaging & Scalability: Implementing AWS SQS for decoupled microservices and asynchronous processing.

    • Engagement: Integrating real-time Push Notifications and Azure resources to ensure high availability and resilient system performance.

  • Cross-Platform & Native Mobile Development:

    Developed high-performance mobile applications using a variety of modern frameworks:

    • Native Android: Built robust apps using Android Studio and Kotlin/Java for deep OS integration.

    • Hybrid Solutions: Leveraged Capacitor in conjunction with Angular to bridge web technologies with native mobile functionality, streamlining the development lifecycle for multi-platform deployment.Enterprise-Grade UI/UX: Focused on delivering sophisticated user interfaces for complex data environments. Specialized in using DevExpress and DevExtreme to create high-performance grids, interactive charts, and responsive dashboards that enhance data visualization and user productivity in WPF and Web applications.

  • Role-Based MVC Applications:

    Developed multi-role ASP.NET Core MVC systems featuring granular security protocols. These projects include custom role-based workflows, automated status tracking, and secure file handling with strict validation to ensure data integrity and protection.

  • Quality Assurance & DevOps Automation: Dedicated to maintaining high code standards through automated pipelines and continuous inspection:

    • CI/CD Pipelines: Engineered automated workflows using GitHub Actions to streamline building, testing, and deployment phases, reducing manual overhead and deployment risks.

    • Code Quality & Security: Integrated SonarQube into the development lifecycle to perform static code analysis, ensuring adherence to clean code principles, identifying "code smells," and proactively catching security vulnerabilities.

    • Automated Testing: Developed comprehensive Unit Testing suites and optimised Console Applications for high-speed data processing, ensuring system reliability and performance under heavy loads.
