Thriving Waterloo-based developer with over 2 years of experience specializing in Python, C#, and JavaScript. I have a passion for crafting user-friendly solutions from complex data. Proficient in Linux and cloud infrastructures, I've collaborated on network optimization projects, built student support chatbots, and developed user-centric web applications. Currently, I'm expanding my skillset as a ServiceNow Developer at PAMT Consulting through a Co-op placement. I'm eager to leverage my programming background to master this powerful platform.
I leveraged my passion for computer science by leading engaging weekly study sessions for the Programming Concepts II course. These sessions fostered a collaborative learning environment where students could review lectures and delve deeper into textbook readings. To ensure inclusivity and effectiveness, I actively participated in professional development opportunities, honing my skills in understanding diverse learning styles and communicating complex concepts clearly.
In my role, I collaborate with a team of network professionals to maintain and optimize our company's network infrastructure, ensuring efficient data transmission and troubleshooting technical issues. I gained a lot of hands-on in technologies like Windows Server, Active Directory, SQL Server, TCP/IP, Wireless, LAN/WAN, and strong documentation and communication skills. I work closely with higher-level authorities to coordinate network maintenance, prioritize security, and provide exceptional support to end-users, promoting a positive experience for all staff members.
As a part of the development team, I designed, developed and deployed a student support chatbot that was aimed at providing general information and answering FAQs related to The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. I was involved in the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) of the chatbot, including constructing a stable backend that stored user feedback and other out-of-scope queries. Additionally, I coordinated with multiple higher-level authorities to ensure that the chatbot met the necessary standards. To prepare the chatbot for training purposes, I determined FAQs regarding overall student queries.
I designed and developed a comprehensive web solution for a startup by implementing user-centered design principles to create a visually appealing and user-friendly interface. I integrated features such as contact forms, gallery, reviews, etc., while optimizing website performance and ensuring cross-browser compatibility. I collaborated with stakeholders to gather requirements and provided technical support post-launch, while also managing the deployment process to ensure a smooth transition from development to production.
As a developer, I designed and developed a chatbot using Google Dialogflow and Node JS. I determined the API requirements for an E-commerce platform and collaborated closely with stakeholders to gather their requirements throughout the software development cycle. Additionally, I provided technical support during the development and deployment of the chatbot.

To build a web scraper using Selenium with Python to extract student results data from my university's portal, and stored the collected data into an SQLite database. The scraper automates the process of navigating through the web pages and parsing the HTML code to extract student name, ID, course name, grade, and other relevant details. The collected data is then stored in an organized format in an SQLite database. This tool has made the process of collecting and organizing student results data much more efficient, and allows me to easily generate reports and analyze student performance.
