About Me
Hi, I'm Poorvank Shah, a passionate Software Developer with a strong foundation in backend development, full-stack web applications, and software engineering. Currently, I'm working at Barclays, where I focus on building scalable and reliable APIs using Java and Spring Boot.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from NIT Surat, where I developed a keen interest in fintech, AI, and software development. My past experiences include freelancing for AI-driven SaaS projects and working with startups like Welinq (UK) and WictroniX, where I built web applications and tech solutions from the ground up.
Beyond work, I have a deep passion for problem-solving, automation, and optimizing software systems. My NCC journey as a Lance Corporal instilled in me leadership, teamwork, and discipline, which I carried forward into organizing large-scale events and streamlining recruitment processes.
I'm always eager to learn, explore new technologies, and take on challenges that push me to grow. If you're looking to collaborate or just want to chat about tech, fintech, or AI, feel free to reach out!
