Hello world! My name is Waqas and I am a Software Engineer and Teacher.Every hobby I’ve ever had - from music to cooking, and now programming - originated from one thing: creativity. Learning how to program was a challenging process for me. But through that struggle I learned the art of learning and skyrocketed form there. Today, as a result of my efforts, I am now able to better relate with new programmers and help them achieve their goals. Over the years, I have built and led numerous projects using the robust capabilities of NextJS and Python, demonstrating my expertise in full-stack development. One of the projects that stands out in my portfolio is Trivvi, an AI-based quiz-building application. Trivvi showscases my commitment to developing cutting-edge, user-centric solutions. In this endeavor, I played a pivotal role in every phase of development, from initial concept to deployment, ensuring a product not only technologically advanced but also intuitive and engaging for users. I have also shared this knowledge with others through a few different avenues:- WizCode: My personal business where I privately teach college students- Principal Coding Workshops: Workshops where I taught people of varying professions, Business analysts, Delivery Managers, and others, how to code - Principal Intern Program: Teaching interns various skills throughout the summer for how to succeed as a Software Engineer- The Coder School: Where I taught students from ages 7-18- University Coding Workshops: Taught programming-related workshops at Rutgers UniversityI look forward to connecting!
