About

As a Software Engineer at Microsoft, I contribute to the development of Microsoft Teams features that enhance community management and engagement. I build reusable, scalable, and easily maintainable UI components for use across MS Teams, and improve the existing codebase by covering feature work with almost 80% of code coverage with Unit and UI testing. With over seven years of collaborative work experience in iOS, Android, and Web application development, I have demonstrated the ability to lead and deploy multiple applications from inception to completion, using various programming languages and tools such as Swift, Objective-C, Python, Java, AWS, and more. I have a Master's degree in Computer Software Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology, where I honed my technical and analytical skills. I am passionate about exploring new technologies and innovating solutions, and I am always seeking a challenging position where I can continue to apply and expand my skills and make significant contributions to the field.
