SDE - 1

My journey into full-stack development began with mastering the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which provided a solid foundation for building web applications. From there, I delved into frameworks like React and Node.js to enhance my skill set. Applying these technologies, I created impactful projects such as QuizMaster, a platform for creating and sharing quizzes, and an e-commerce app with seamless cart functionality. I also explored data science and AI by working on projects like Brain Tumor Detection using CNNs and Credit Card Fraud Detection using XGBoost, which helped me integrate machine learning techniques with software development. Platforms like GitHub and Indeed served as stepping stones, providing resources and internship opportunities, including a research internship at MAIT and a summer internship at Cantilever. These experiences allowed me to refine my problem-solving abilities and build production-ready applications. Preparing for internships and roles involved revisiting core concepts like data structures, algorithms, and design patterns, alongside practicing coding problems and developing AI-based solutions. This journey has underscored the importance of consistency, curiosity, and hands-on practice, shaping my passion for technology and innovation.

The Accenture on-campus recruitment process was a valuable learning experience. It began with an online test assessing aptitude and technical skills, followed by a technical interview that allowed me to showcase my technical knowledge and problem-solving abilities. This journey enhanced my confidence and prepared me for future opportunities.

From my perspective, the rejection after the interview could have been due to a misalignment between my skills and the specific requirements of the role. While I did my best to showcase my technical knowledge and experiences, it’s possible that certain areas didn't fully meet the expectations for the position. Additionally, the competition was strong, and the company may have found a candidate whose profile more closely matched their immediate needs. Nevertheless, the process was a valuable learning experience, and I plan to use the insights gained to improve further.
