About Me Welcome to my developer's corner on Hashnode! I'm an Electrical and Electronics Engineering graduate with a passion for technology, creative design, and software development. My journey into the tech world began with a deep curiosity for how things work, which eventually led me to explore various facets of engineering and software. Work Experience I have a solid foundation in electrical and electronics engineering, and over the past 1-2 years, I've honed my skills in Photoshop, focusing on photo editing, minimalistic logo creation, and other creative services. My work under the brand TechGecko (TGPhotoshop) has allowed me to combine technical expertise with creativity, providing unique solutions to my clients. On the development side, I am currently building a web application called DayMinder, designed to help users manage their schedules, complete tasks, and receive timely reminders. This project reflects my interest in creating practical tools that make everyday life easier. Accomplishments Freelance Photoshop Editor: Successfully launched a freelance business on Freelancer.com and Upwork, where I offer a range of photo editing and design services. University Graduate: Completed a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, gaining a strong technical background. Ongoing Web App Development: Actively working on DayMinder, a personal productivity tool, which showcases my skills in both design and software development. Interests and Dreams Creative Design: I enjoy exploring the intersection of art and technology, particularly in photo editing and design. My deep curiosity might again lead me to explore other facets of art. Who knows? Software Development: My current focus is on improving my coding skills, particularly in web and application development, and expanding my knowledge in areas like SEO and user experience design. Dreams: My goal is to continue growing as a developer and designer, eventually creating tools and products that have a meaningful impact. I also aim to establish a strong presence in the tech community, sharing my experiences and learning from others. Connect with Me Feel free to reach out on X (formerly known as Twitter) or LinkedIn via my blog home or profile page if you're interested in collaborating on projects or just want to chat about tech, design, or anything in-between. Let's create something amazing together!
