Their background
I am a software developer at IBM with hands-on experience in Java, CI/CD automation, and cloud technologies. After starting as an intern, I transitioned to a full-time role where I contributed to the WatsonX.data & Controller product, managed build server setup, and worked on Jenkins automation. I actively practice coding through daily challenges on GeeksforGeeks and LeetCode, and I enjoy sharing my professional journey and technical insights on LinkedIn. As I move forward, I am focused on deepening my skills in cloud computing and AI/ML, while also building my professional network and developing my technical writing abilities.
