Journey
I initiated my coding journey in my second year, starting with language fundamentals and progressing to Data Structures and Algorithms. Through consistent practice, I honed my problem-solving skills. Now, as a FullStack Developer, I apply this foundation to contribute effectively to both frontend and backend projects. My commitment to ongoing learning ensures relevance in the dynamic software development landscape.
Application story
I applied for this role two months ago, underwent a successful online assessment within two weeks, and subsequently received an interview call from the recruiter. Following the interview call, I am eager to further discuss my qualifications in the upcoming interview rounds.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
