echo "About $(whoami)"
Hello! My name is Digvijaysinh Padhiyar, a dedicated fullstack developer driven by an unwavering passion for programming, problem-solving, and engineering. I embarked on my coding journey at the age of 16, and since then, I've continually expanded my horizons. With expertise in mobile applications, websites, web applications, automation scripts, web servers, and beyond, I'm equipped to tackle diverse challenges.
My love for innovation fuels my work. I thrive on creating cutting-edge solutions that push the boundaries of what technology can achieve. What sets me apart is my ability to swiftly adapt and learn, making me the ideal fit for any project. Regardless of the specific skills you seek, I'm confident in my capacity to quickly master them.
Let me highlight a couple of my real-world projects:
HotelsBridge: I designed HotelsBridge, a sophisticated hotel communication system aimed at elevating your hotel's service above the competition. This platform enhances inter-departmental communication, seamlessly tracks guest requests for housekeeping and room service, all without the hassle of downloading any applications. What's more, it provides comprehensive analytics on orders and guest interactions, offering invaluable insights.
Kipperin: I created Kipperin, a productivity app that simplifies daily study tasks. With features like setting reminders, deadlines, reading list, and a built-in Pomodoro timer, students can optimize their study sessions. Additionally, Kipperin offers weekly news updates (related to their field of study), keeping students informed and up to date with ease.
These projects are just a glimpse of my diverse portfolio. For a more comprehensive view of my work, please visit: Projects Page or GitHub
Achievements
My Journey
Journey Started
Year 2016
I was just a curious mind diving into MS Office. It got me thinking, "How does it really understand what I type and catch my typos?" This question ignited my passion for all things tech. I started unraveling the secrets of computers and, before I knew it, I was knee-deep in the world of C programming – that's where it all began.
Intro to Assembly
Year 2017
I was up to some playful mischief. I couldn't resist the urge to pull off a few pranks on my friends' computers. Little did I know, this led me down the rabbit hole of low-level programming and assembly language for five whole months!
Building Websites
Year 2018
I took my first steps in the web development world. Armed with HTML, CSS, and a sprinkle of JavaScript, I crafted my very first web page. This ignited my fascination with the internet and its inner workings. As time went on, my passion led me to full-stack web development, where I honed my skills in Vue.js, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.
A Year of Python Exploration
Year 2019
I put my skills to practical use by crafting a website for my father's business. That was just the beginning of a year filled with coding adventures. Throughout the year, I immersed myself in building web scrapers using Python, mastering its requests and Beautiful Soup modules. Beyond that, I lent a hand to local business owners, creating automation software tailored to their needs. Suffice it to say, my keyboard saw a lot of Python action that year!
The Year of Web Development Mastery
Year 2020
In January 2020, as the world grappled with the challenges of the pandemic, I saw an opportunity to make the most of my time. I delved into comprehensive web development bootcamps, dedicating the entire year to mastering both frontend and backend technologies. On the frontend, I harnessed the power of React.js, Next, and Bootstrap to craft captivating user interfaces. Simultaneously, I honed my backend skills with Node.js, exploring the depths of Express and diving into core backend concepts, including Concurrency, REST API design, Caching, SQL and NoSQL databases, and more. I navigated the intricacies of HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, Websockets, and even ventured into monolithic and microservices architectures. Alongside this, I learned to craft production-ready code adhering to best practices. Amid these learning endeavors, I also expanded my knowledge with various technologies, including MongoDB, Postgres, Cassandra, Redis, Git, GitHub, OAuth, Socket.io, JWT, Encryption algorithms, and more. It was a year of significant growth and exploration, all made possible by the unique circumstances of the pandemic.
A Year of Transition and Learning in London, UK
Year 2021
In March 2021, I embarked on a journey of change and growth by relocating to London, UK, in pursuit of enhanced opportunities and fresh learning experiences. The year was marked by significant personal and professional development. I honed my communication skills and refined my ability to work seamlessly within diverse teams, collaborating with developers from various backgrounds. My time was largely dedicated to exploring and mastering Flutter and Dart for mobile app development, expanding my expertise in this dynamic field.
Balancing Education and Innovation
Year 2022
I embarked on an exciting new chapter in my academic journey by enrolling in the BSc. Computer Science program at East London University. Throughout the year, I immersed myself in a variety of modules, including Research and Study Skills, System Design, Software Development with Java, Mathematics for Computer Science, Computer Networks, and Web Technologies, broadening my horizons within the field of computer science.
While pursuing my degree, I also embraced an opportunity to work as a front desk receptionist at a 4-star hotel in the heart of London. With my analytical and problem-solving mindset, I recognized the potential for enhanced communication within the hospitality industry. This realization led to the inception of HotelsBridge, a software designed to revolutionize hotel communication and provide valuable analytics. Leveraging my skills in Node.js, Vue.js, MongoDB, and Express, I embarked on this ambitious project, which ultimately became my most complex undertaking to date. Over the span of four months, I meticulously crafted over 14,000 lines of code to bring this innovative solution to life.
