I consider myself an enthusiastic software developer with over 5 years of industry experience. ~Background I started learning to code as a teenager, though it was always more of a hobby than a career focus. After a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering, and continuing to pursue that hobby, I realised Software was the right field for me, which led me to pursue Master's in Software Engineering. ~Tech I’m familiar with a variety of programming languages, including Java,Swift (iOS App development), SQLScript, Scala but I’m always adding new skills to my repertoire. ~Work Currently working as a Software Engineer for Zalando SE, Berlin. And, I'm adept at managing all stages of the software development life-cycle, from requirements gathering and feasibility studies to development, testing, deployment and maintenance. ~Strengths - I have been recognised for coordinating directly with customers, reproducing the bugs on development systems and delivering the fixes quickly. - Being a CEFR Level 'C2' in English Language Proficiency,lead me to get acknowledged as a great Communicator and a point of contact for various initiatives. ~Interests - On a daily basis, I try to quench my thirst for problem solving by practicing on Online Coding Platforms like Leetcode, Hackerrank etc. - I am now exploring ways to connect with like-minded individuals who help each other grow through the knowledge sharing process.

14.September 2023I recently had the opportunity to receive mentorship on relocating to Germany as a software engineer, and I must say it was an incredibly enriching experience. My mentor provided invaluable insights into various aspects of the relocation process. Aakanksha offered guidance on navigating the job market, including where to search for tech job opportunities and how to tailor my CV for the German market. Additionally, I learned about the living standards and lifestyle in Germany, which was immensely helpful in setting my expectations. Overall, this session not only enhanced my understanding of the relocation process but also gave me confidence in pursuing my career as a software engineer in Germany. It's a valuable resource for anyone considering such a move. She was immensely helpful.
