About Me
Ever since I was introduced to giving commands to computer resulting in a desired output, I was hooked into the world of possibilities it can create. Programming became my passion and I immediately started out taking Computer Science courses and soon became a self-learner. I can proudly say I am now a multilingual; I don’t only speak English, but also HTML, C++, C#, Java, Angular, Kotlin, a little on Python, and a great deal on Android App Development.
Running a web designing club for almost 2 years back in high school made me realize how dependent this world is on computers. Teaching fellow students the process of web development, I was not only able to help the community by having websites built, but also by sparking a fire in those students who would soon pursue their career as programmers 👨💻.
Previously, I have worked with Ford in the EV ⚡ space as an android app 📱 developer to enhance the customer experience for the FordPass app and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience along the way. I have worked directly on the EV features of the app that allows users to search for public chargers🔌, refer to their live charge session details, manage preferred charge settings, and also set up departure times for automatic climate control 🌡️. More info on this can be found here.
Outside of this professional life, I love traveling and exploring the life outdoors, like hiking 🚶, biking 🚵, and playing sports 👟 . I've also recently unlocked a new hobby for photography 📸.
I hope you got a chance to learn something about me here. However, I can best be known if you connect with me through LinkedIn or by contacting me. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments.
