I have experience in web development using JavaScript, PHP, Bootstrap, and WordPress as a content management system. While I am proficient in these technologies, my primary interest lies in developing web applications. I am a motivated software developer with over a year of academic and professional experience working with languages and technologies such as Java, C++, C#, Swift, MySQL, and MongoDB. I am skilled in writing scalable and secure code, as well as integrating server-side applications with both SQL and NoSQL databases. I am eager to leverage my programming expertise, problem-solving abilities, and leadership experience in the software development industry. In addition to my development skills, I have a strong passion for research. I was a member of the Robotics Research Team at the University of Houston-Downtown, and my current research focuses on comparing the performance of machine learning models across different platforms.

S@ifur’s

I taught communicative English to elderly individuals, with a primary focus on improving their spoken English skills. The lessons were designed to help them gain confidence in using everyday language for communication, whether in casual conversations or in more formal settings. Emphasizing practical speaking skills, we worked on pronunciation, vocabulary, sentence structure, and listening comprehension. The goal was to make them feel more comfortable and empowered in engaging with others, whether socially or in everyday situations. Additionally, I adapted the lessons to suit the learning pace and needs of each individual, fostering a supportive and patient environment for language acquisition.
