I'm a skilled front-end developer with over 3 years of experience in creating dynamic and responsive UI components using React, Redux, and MobX. I also have a strong understanding of back-end development with MongoDB and Node/Express, utilizing RESTful APIs to integrate data into web applications.

I'm passionate about state management, routing, and debugging using React and Chrome development tools. With proficiency in JIRA, GIT, and BITBUCKET, I ensure efficient requirement gathering and version control.

Test Driven Development is a key aspect of my work, and I've achieved 100% coverage using Enzyme, React Testing Library, and JEST. I'm experienced in Agile methodology and the Scrum framework, enabling collaborative software development.

Building responsive and mobile-optimized websites using Bootstrap and Material UI is one of my strengths. I've also worked with popular CMS systems like Drupal and WordPress, customizing themes and plugins.

Communication and presentation skills are important to me, allowing me to effectively engage clients, team members, and stakeholders. I'm adept at analyzing and solving browser compatibility challenges, maintaining consistency and well-commented HTML and CSS markup.

Overall, I'm a dedicated and innovative developer who thrives on delivering exceptional user experiences. I'm excited about utilizing my skills and expertise to contribute to impactful projects. 

I have over 3 years of experience as a front-end developer, with a track record of success in creating dynamic and responsive UI components using React, Redux, and MobX. I've had the opportunity to apply my skills at two prominent companies.

At Brik Partners in Toronto, ON, I gained valuable experience in building isomorphic applications using React.js and Redux. I utilized React JS for faster compilation and development of reusable components. I worked with GIT and SVN for version control and leveraged Node Package Manager (NPM) to manage modules. I also focused on accessibility standards, localization, and optimizing animation logic for enhanced performance. Throughout the development process, I collaborated closely with project managers and developers, ensuring effective communication and reporting.

During my time at Cognizant Technology Solutions, I served as a Programmer Analyst on the Pearson Team. I further honed my skills in React, Redux, and back-end technologies like MongoDB and Node/Express. I contributed to the development of reusable and responsive stateless components using ReactJS hooks and employed MobX as a state management tool. Test-driven development was a key aspect of my work, where I utilized Enzyme and React Testing Library for component-based testing. I was involved in requirement gathering using JIRA and version control using GIT and BITBUCKET. Working within the Agile methodology and Scrum framework, I consistently delivered quality code, ensuring high test coverage.

With my comprehensive experience at Brik Partners and Cognizant Technology Solutions, I bring a wealth of expertise in front-end development, back-end integration, and collaborative project management. My strong command of React, Redux, and related technologies, along with my ability to adapt and learn new tools, make me a valuable asset to any team.

I completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Web Development from Conestoga College in Kitchener, Canada in December 2022. During this program, I gained in-depth knowledge and practical skills in various web development technologies and frameworks.

Prior to that, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science & Engineering from SRM Institute of Science and Technology in Chennai, India in June 2020. This degree provided me with a strong foundation in computer science principles and programming.

With my educational background in web development and computer science, I have acquired a solid understanding of fundamental concepts and the ability to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios.
