Soft Skills

Here is my detailed description of my inner neural characteristics and mannerisms as far as engineering is concerned.

Honesty & Integrity

I have been accredited by my former co-workers and teammates as an honest leader who delivers the utmost truth to the table.

Transparent & Smart

Often times, I have encountered many hardships in software development space but thanks to my ambient transparency and smart working techniques which I developed in my earlier days of conceptual automation of my brain neurons.

Goal Oriented

I'm competent enough to keep focus on one agile path towards my end goal without any mix-ups along the way since this is one of the most essential elements of an exemplary engineer.

Time Manager

Due to this irreversible aspect, time, I always plan my day and stick to my deadlines. I have never lost a single second during my engineering operations since my executions are kept optimal because I believe that executing things on a spec is super brilliant since I will have more time to act over perfection.

Generous & Kind

During ambiguous times, my teammates saw me as the utmost backup plan for most software executions like debugging and design phases.But, because of my ultimate generous nature, they always found me as a valuable asset to their team.

Reliability & Accountability

Since accountability is one of my life principles, I always make decisions which I can account for and to back up this aspect, I am always available to complement my choices and progress both to my seniors and juniors.
