About Bala Murugan R

HTML, CSS, Microsoft Office and Photoshop were some of the first tech stack which I learnt during my schooling days. I had a certificate in Junior Diploma in multimedia. I always enjoyed working on the computer which sparked the curiosity within me. Hence, I chose to pursue a profession in the computer field.I completed my B.E in Computer science. By the end of the 3rd semester, I learned python and discovered my passion for coding. I studied hard aptitude and kept exploring Python for my placement prep, and as result of my hard work, I got an offer from TCS.Unfortunately, due to a series of bad luck, I got a backlog in the 7th semester and my exams kept getting postponed, which affected the offer from TCS. I was really frustrated but I didn\'t give up and kept on learning on my own. I was a bit confused as I did not know how to upskill myself in the right way and this is when I discovered Masai School. Currently, I am learning MERN stack, data structures, algorithms, and soft skills at Masai school.Besides coding, I love to design work using photoshop and CorelDraw, and I also have a passion in drawing. In my leisure time, I play chess with my brother or watch Tech videos on YouTube. YouTube has been my best friend and educator for quite some time.As a developer, my hunger for learning has increased continuously. I want to learn more and do something meaningful with my learning.Specialties: Quick learner with a desire to learn new thingsToolkit: MongoDB, Express.js, Node.js, HTML, CSS, npm, Python, Git/GitHub, MS Office.If you want to know more about me, send me a message or reach out to me at b••••••••@gmail.com
