I'm a Computer Science student focused on building a strong foundation in software development, secure coding practices, and database management. Currently balancing studies and full-time work, I am dedicated to applying what I learn to both hypothetical and real-world projects, creating a portfolio that demonstrates practical, hands-on experience.
I'm exploring new concepts and refining my approach to software design and development, one project at a time. My portfolio inculdes a mix of academic projects and self-driven work, especially focused on:
- Learning Agile and Scrum Methodologies 🏃♂️
- Developing Cross-Platform Skills 🌐
- Gaining Experience in Software Security 🔒
Learning Python for data tasks and automation, exploring its versatility in backend and scripting.
Building a foundation in Java, focusing on object-oriented programming for reliable application development.
Gaining experience in C++ for efficient programming and exploring foundational programming concepts.
Using Eclipse as primary Java IDE, exploring its debugging and organizational features.
Practicing Python projects in PyCharm, with support for virtual environments and testing.
Experimenting with Visual Studio, primarily for C++ and Windows-based applications.
Using VS Code for a range of tasks, from Markdown editing to scripts, exploring its flexibility with plugins.
Building foundational skills in version control, focusing on managing changes and tracking project history effectively.
Learning the basics of version control and project hosting, using GitHub for sharing projects and collaborating with others.
Learning SQL basics with MySQL, practicing database creation and data handling for structured data projects.
Primary development environment.
Exploring Linux basics, working with command-line operations and understanding server environments.
Developing familiarity with Agile practices, focusing on sprints, retrospectives, and team-based workflows.
