What I Am Good At

I have a strong foundation in software development, system design, and database management, with expertise in languages like C++, Python, JavaScript, and Golang. I have experience working with full-stack web development (MERN stack), containerization (Docker), and low-level database implementation. Additionally, I am skilled in data structures & algorithms, operating systems, and network security, which I have applied in various projects. My problem-solving abilities are reinforced by my participation in coding competitions and hackathons.
