Confident, problem solver looking to put his skills into the workplaceA Backend Developer currently working at TravelStart. I have my in BSc Computer Science and Computer engineering. I am a critical thinker and enjoy problem solving which enables me to thrive in high pressure environments and have a high interest in AI and Machine Learning.Strengths and Skills:- Knowledge of Computer Science and Computer Engineering- Problem Solving- Decisive- Machine Learning- Artificial Neural Networks- The ability to find fast and efficient solutions to problems.- Excellent time management skills- Excellent in multitasking- Understanding and designing algorithms- Knowledge of data structures- Mathematically inclined- Exceptional communication and interpersonal abilities- Strong leadership abilities, excelling in both team settings and independent work environments- Adaptable to any environmentFor nearly 6 years of my life, I have been exposed to programming and I thoroughly enjoy it. I have programmed in multiple languages including Python, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, C#, and Delphi. Mathematics, software engineering, machine learning and artificial neural networks peaks my interest as it has proven to be four of my strongest skills. Throughout my university and high school career, I have been exposed to endless assignments which has taught me good time management and multitasking skills.Some assignments done in University that boast my strengths and skills:- My 3rd year project where it involves extending Craig Reynold’s classical Boids model for flocks of birds and schools of fish to include herds of animals, taking the dynamics of animal species, as well as terrain slope and surface properties. The resulting animated herds will then be rendered in Unity. - Assignments concerning networks where my team and I designed/programmed a server and client. The end objective was to be able to store files on the server.- Multiple machine learning assignments. One prominent one was where I designed 3 different kinds of artificial neural networks that could classify objects from images from a data set.- Parallel programming and concurrency assignments.
