About Me

I’m Harkirat Singh, a software development student currently in my final year of the Honours Bachelor of Technology in Software Development program at Seneca Polytechnic. My academic and co-op experiences have allowed me to build a solid understanding of both web and mobile application development.

I have worked with a range of technologies including Python, C, C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js, and have experience using frameworks such as React.js, Next.js, Angular, React Native, and Expo.

I’m also familiar with databases like MongoDB, MySQL and Firebase Firestore as well as tools such as Git, GitHub, and Azure DevOps for version control and deployment workflows.

I’m continuously looking to learn and apply new skills, and aim to contribute to practical, maintainable, and user-focused software solutions.

Let’s connect and create something remarkable together!
