ABOUT GRISHMA SHAH

Ever since I was a little kid, software development has been my passion. I still remember sitting in front of the computer, writing my first program in C to print “Hello, Grishma” for the very first time. Throughout middle and high school, I latched on to any ideas for projects I could get. I learned C, then C++, tearing through any books I could find on anything remotely related to software development. I have been obsessed with the idea of using software to solve practical problems. Software engineering is a never-ending puzzle that I am passionately engaged in solving. I believe in the power of programming to transform and improve the lives of people around the world.This passion carried me through my education at GTU, Gujarat, India. Here there were more resources available to me than I ever could have imagined as a kid. I studied new languages, algorithms, compilers, higher mathematics, all with pretty much the same fascination that drove me as a kid. And it was here that I learned truly how much there was yet to learn.For my first full-time job, I started as a junior software developer and was given the opportunity to design and test windows-based applications. I have been happily expanding my role as a software engineer ever since and left the job as a senior software developer after working for more than 3 years. After that I moved to Canada and started working as a freelancer where I got the opportunity to build numerous websites and enhanced my knowledge towards web development. Currently, I am working towards achieving certification for Microsoft Azure developer.My specialties include quickly learning new skills and programming languages, problem-solving, responsive design principles, website optimization, and the Model View View Model (MVVM) and Model View Controller (MVC) methods of organizing code. So far, I have experience working with JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, C#, SQL, Python, jQuery, Bootstrap, Knockout, Angular, Jasmine, Grunt, and Git/GitHub under my belt. I\'ve started learning Node.JS, MongoDB, and Express.JS. I am still enthusiastically grabbing onto any other programming languages, frameworks, or principles. I can integrate into the coding web in my head.
