Programmer Analyst Trainee at Cognizant

I'm a passionate software engineer and full-stack MERN developer who loves to turn ideas into scalable, user-centric applications. I have hands-on experience in building modern web solutions using React, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, following clean architecture and best development practices. My experience in the Cognizant Healthcare Product Consulting (HPC) program has given me hands-on exposure to SQL, PL/SQL, U.S. healthcare payer systems and TriZetto Facets, and has helped me to further develop my skills in working with enterprise software in domain-driven environments. I enjoy tackling complex technical problems, constantly learning, and building reliable applications that deliver business value.
