When I was a teenager, I was the one people turned to when they had problems with their phones or laptops. I was the go-to person for any technical issues. The situation has remained essentially unchanged over the years. I continue to serve as the go-to person for technical issues. The contrast is that I now develop innovative software to address real-world problems.I started learning to code as a teenager, but it was always more of a hobby than a professional concentration. After completing a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and continuing to follow my hobby, I discovered that software engineering was the right career for me. I became obsessed with web development while working on multiple projects, and I enjoy researching new programming languages and technologies in the full-stack development field in my spare time.After earning my bachelor's degree, I worked at Oracle-Cerner for 2+ years as a software engineer, participating in every stage of the software development lifecycle, from planning and design to testing and deployment. My responsibilities included backend microservices / REST API development, database designing, algorithm analysis, code changes, issue resolution, concept formulation, and system integration.One of my favorite aspects of software development is collaborating with people from various industries. Working with so many different individuals and departments is an essential part of the software development lifecycle, so it's great to collaborate with other specialists working toward the same goal.I hold a master's degree in Information Technology from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.Feel free to contact me at psimha1@uncc.edu if you want to talk about software development, coding, or anything else.
