About Me

Building practical, user-focused software solutions.

I am a software development student at Mohawk College with a strong interest in building practical, user-focused applications. My goal is to develop solid technical skills and hands-on experience that allow me to contribute effectively to real-world software projects.

I have always been passionate about technology and how it can simplify complex problems and improve everyday life. Studying software development has given me the opportunity to explore programming concepts, experiment with different technologies, and continuously improve my problem-solving abilities.

Looking ahead, I aim to work on meaningful software projects in areas such as education, productivity, and interactive applications. I am motivated to grow as a developer, collaborate with others, and continue learning as technology evolves.

Education

Software Development (Advanced Diploma)

Mohawk College, Ontario, Canada

Currently Enrolled

My studies focus on building a strong foundation in software development through hands-on coursework and practical projects. The program emphasizes both theoretical concepts and real-world application development.

Background and Motivation

From a young age, I was fascinated by how computers work. I used to explore settings, install software, and tinker with basic programs. This curiosity quickly evolved into a deep passion for programming.

Programming allows me to create things from nothing. It's like building with digital bricks—whether it's websites, apps, or tools, I feel empowered when I code. Every bug I fix and every function I build brings me joy.

I want to become a full-stack developer with expertise in both front-end and back-end development. I'm committed to learning continuously and staying updated with the latest technologies in the industry.

BlogPosts – Python RESTful API Project

BlogPosts is a Python-based web application that demonstrates full CRUD functionality through a RESTful API. The project allows users to create, read, update, and delete blog posts through an interactive frontend connected to a backend service.

The application focuses on clean API design, structured data handling, and client-server communication, providing a practical example of backend and frontend integration. It also supports searching blog posts by title, author, content, and date, as well as sorting posts and search results based on these fields.

Technologies: Python, Flask, HTML, CSS

Python-based application for dynamic HTML generation

MoviWeb is a Python-based application that allows users to search for movies from the online IMDb database using a command-line interface. The application retrieves movie information dynamically and processes the results based on user input.

Search results can be exported into structured formats such as JSON or CSV. In addition, the system generates a responsive and dynamically built HTML page that visually presents the movie information, including titles, ratings, release years, and posters.

Technologies: Python, HTML, CSS

Study Spot Finder – React Native Map Application

Study Spot Finder is a mobile application built with React Native and Expo to help students save and manage their favorite study locations. The app allows users to view their current location, add custom places, add predefined study spots, and browse saved places on an interactive map.

The project demonstrates mobile UI design, geolocation handling, local storage with AsyncStorage, marker-based map interaction, and category-based visual organization for different types of study places.

Technologies: React Native, Expo, JavaScript, MapView, AsyncStorage

Movie Search Studio – React Movie Search Application

Movie Search Studio is a React Native application that connects to the OMDb web service and allows users to search for movies and TV series in real time. The application retrieves live movie data and presents detailed results in a clean, mobile-friendly interface.

The project highlights API integration, asynchronous data fetching, dynamic list rendering, loading states, search validation, and responsive presentation of movie posters, ratings, years, and country information.

Technologies: React Native, JavaScript, OMDb API, Fetch API

SVG Diamond Game

SVG Diamond v1.0 is an interactive puzzle brick-breaking game implemented using pure SVG graphics, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. All visual elements in the game—including bricks, paddles, the ball, and special effects—were created entirely with SVG, demonstrating the use of scalable vector graphics for dynamic and responsive game design.

The game can be controlled using both the keyboard arrow keys and the mouse, providing flexible and responsive interaction during gameplay. This demonstrates real-time user input handling in a browser-based game environment.

Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG
