Smith Pereira

I am Smith Pereira, a sophomore at IIT Roorkee, in the world of development for a year now. I enjoy building solutions to problems that create a positive impact on the world.
My passion for development is what drove me into software and web dev. Currently, I am a software developer at SDSLabs, a college developers' group in IIT Roorkee, where I have worked on many software and web development projects. Since the group is constantly working on projects for the campus students, I got the opportunity to work on large-scale projects and oversee everything from the code bug fixes to final deployment. I believe I am quite fluent in Golang, Node, Python, PHP for the backend as well as React, Vue, and SASS for the frontend.

Some of the projects I have worked on include:

1. Covid Vaccine tracker application for India.
2. An automatic 2d and 3d (VR) music video generator, "Crescendo", which takes a song as an input, splits its components based on the instruments and animates the music video.
3. A virtual exhibition software focused on gamification created using Unreal Engine 4 that supports live chat, dynamic banners, and videos for product promotion, and a realistic walkthrough experience.
4. A 2D retro wave themed racing/deathmatch game "Outrun Chase" created for the HAB-59 hackathon, bagging the second prize in the gaming category
   I have taken part in several hackathons and I believe I can efficiently play with APIs and modules and build a decent app. I have experience with many frameworks and libraries which I believe gives me an edge over others.
