I am a Software Developer with a background in Search Engine Optimisation [SEO]
My interest in programming and web development sparked the first moment I was exposed to the code during my SEO times. It all started with optimising H1 tags in raw HTML.
Gradually my interest grew so I decided to attend an online coding bootcamp and learn how to think like a developer and how to write good code.
With my solid foundation in SEO and my web development skills, search optimisation is a first class citizen to all projects.
My life and work ethic are summed up in a single Stoic maxim that I live by every day:
“Impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way become the way”

Here are a few other things about me:
- I like playing chess and reading poetry.
- My favourite fiction book: Arthur C. Clarke's "Space Odyssey" series.
- Non-fiction book: “Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius.
- I admire engraving works of Gustave Doré and Albrecht Dürer.
- I am a dreamer in my time off. At work, I execute and get things done.
- I actively look for negative feedback as I think this is one of the fastest ways to learn.
- It is about the result. It is not about who gets the credit. Actually, a team should get it.
- There must be a strategy. If there isn’t any, the next step before anything else should be to devise one.
- Oh, I also speak geek.

Other Projects
As a final project of the coding bootcamp I have worked in a team of 5 remote developers building a Ruby On Rails Chess Application. We have employed the following best practices:
-
TDD using gems such as RSpec and FactoryGirl.
-
CI and CD was implemented via CodeShip.
-
Trello was used to manage the project.
-
Version Control is done with Git and GitHub.
-
RuboCop gem makde sure our code complied with the Ruby Style Guide.
I have written the following logic:
-
Real-time database update of piece location on the board via AJAX. See the PR.
-
Check state of the game. PR.
-
Prevention logic for King so that it cannot move to cell in check as well as piece logic not to open their own king. PR.
-
Checkmate logic. PR.
While building this site, I have learned Jekyll and also got introduced to Bower and Gulp.
