About me

Hello, I am Harkaran, and I am a student of Computer Engineering Technology here at Algonquin College. An eager full-stack developer, I like building scalable APIs and sleek UIs. Always looking out to learn about newer technologies, the driving force for me is more out of curiosity and for the love of technology. I specialize in React, Next.js, and Node.js. Another area of interest is solving complex problems. Since I have strong grounds in both front-end and back-end development, I always try to create user-friendly and efficient applications. My aim is to put my skills to work in much-needed innovation. See some of my projects below in action.
