Full Stack Developer | Problem Solver | Tech Enthusiast

Hey there! 👋 I'm Mubtasim—a full-stack developer, always on the hunt for exciting challenges that push the boundaries of my skills. I thrive on building things that work well, look great, and solve real problems. From backend architecture to crafting seamless user experiences, my goal is to turn ideas into reality, and I'm always learning something new along the way.

Here's what I'm proficient in and enjoy using to bring my ideas to life:

Working with an international marketing agency, I developed their first flagship site to drive a 66% client acquisition increase. The site blends performance and aesthetics, built with React (TypeScript), and deployed via GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

• Highlight: Integrated a headless CMS to streamline updates without touching code, allowing easy management for non-technical users.
• Challenge: Balancing highly custom designs with scalability. Each pixel and animation went through multiple iterations to get it just right.
• Learning: The power of continuous integration when working with design feedback loops and the importance of WAI accessibility standards.

Part of a four-member team building ShareWize, an app to manage and track group expenses. The project was a deep dive into the full stack (Node.js, React, Redux), but more than that, it was an exercise in team collaboration and agile development.

• Highlight: Implementing Google OAuth 2.0 for authentication and using AWS RDS to manage financial data securely.
• Challenge: Making sure the app was intuitive for non-tech-savvy users. We refined the UX through user testing and iterations.
• Learning: The importance of communication within teams—regular stand-ups and code reviews kept us on track and aligned.

An e-commerce platform for game lovers. Game Galaxy aggregates prices and details from millions of online games, making it easier for users to compare and purchase.

• Highlight: API Integration with 3 databases, parsing massive amounts of JSON data to deliver real-time results.
• Challenge: Designing the UI to handle large datasets without overwhelming the user.
• Learning: There’s beauty in the details—whether it's making an API call more efficient or tweaking the UI for responsiveness.

A deep dive into the basics of networking, this project was all about learning how the internet really works. Built an FTP client-server app using Python and the Sockets API, transferring text files seamlessly.

• Highlight: Handling concurrent connections with multiple clients in real-time.
• Challenge: Understanding the nuances of TCP/IP and how networking protocols handle failures.
• Learning: The core principles of the internet aren’t just theory—they’re the building blocks of modern communication.

I code with one philosophy in mind: clarity over complexity. Whether it's a simple function or an entire API, I believe in writing code that's easy to read, easy to debug, and easy to maintain.

I also believe in the power of iteration. A project is never truly finished—there's always a new feature to add, a bug to squash, or a UX improvement to make. As a developer, I'm constantly experimenting, learning new technologies, and refining my craft.

I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Computer Science at McMaster University. Here are a few key things I've learned:

• Algorithmic Thinking: From data structures to optimization, I've built a strong foundation in problem-solving.
• Networking and Security: Ensuring robust and secure systems is key, and I've taken every opportunity to dive into information security.
• Operating Systems: Understanding how the core systems of a computer work is essential to being a well-rounded developer.

I’m always looking for interesting projects or collaborations that push me to grow as a developer. Whether it's contributing to open source, collaborating on a new startup idea, or refining an existing project—I'm game!

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to work on something together.

Let’s build something amazing together! ✌️
