SOFTWARE TOOLS

SKILLS

EXPERTISE

JavaScript

I am a JavaScript developer. I have been developing websites using JavaScript libraries like D3.js, React Gatsby and nodeJS as a part of my college curriculum and work experience.

Python

I love to code in Python. I have used python for developing Machine Learning algorithms. I have used python libraries like scikit-learn, numpy and pandas for developing classification models like SVM, Decision trees and LSTM.

PostgresSQL

I have used PostgresSQL and MySQL for storing data and querying as a backend for websites. I have developed API's that query the database and process the data for specific use cases.
