Hi, I am
Ajith Kusalakumar.
Software Engineer.
I am a full-stack web developer, specializing on the backend. I have strong analytical background with a degree in Mathematics and Physics and Computer Science. Currently, I am focused on building secure and efficent web-applications.
01. About Me
I fell in love with programming when I least expected it.
It was my dream to become a theoretical physicist, so I set out to study Mathematics and Physics at the University of Toronto. It wasn't until the 3rd year of university that I wrote my first real code, and at that moment, I was smitten. At first, I learned Python to analyze data I gathered during experiments and learned C++ to code microcontrollers to gather data; however, I continued to code because of how much I enjoyed it.
After completing my Mathematics and Physics degree, I enrolled in the Computer Science program at Algoma University, where I worked as a research assistant in the fields of computer networks, encryption, and machine learning. I got accepted into the master's program of my choice, but I declined the offer to start my career as a Software Engineer as soon as possible!
I am committed to lifelong learning, and I am learning new skills, design principles, problem-solving techniques, data structures, and frameworks every day.
Here are the programming languages and technologies I am familiar with:
Javascript
NodeJS
ReactJS
HTML
CSS
Python
C++
MongoDB
MySQL
