Daniel S A Email & Phone Number

I hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, where I acquired expertise in programming fundamentals, data structures & algorithms, and database management.Additionally, I cultivated a strong fascination for Linux, exploring its core utilities alongside delving into the realm of web development.My passion for creating web applications led me to join Testpress as a software developer in May 2022.At Testpress, I worked with a team of talented and motivated developers to create features and solutions for online education platforms. I predominantly leveraged Django and Django REST Framework to develop functionality, APIs, and integrations. One of my notable contributions was developing a feature that enabled users to upload Excel sheets containing students' offline responses, which were then mapped to corresponding questions within the Testpress portal. This feature used Tablib and Celery to handle computation-heavy processes in the background, and provided users with easy access to scores, analytics, and feedback on any device.I enjoyed working with Testpress because I shared their vision of making online education accessible, affordable, and engaging for everyone. I also learned a lot from my colleagues and mentors, and I always welcomed feedback and new challenges. I left Testpress in March 2024 to pursue new opportunities and expand my skills and knowledge.
