About

Hi, I am Jannat — a passionate software engineer currently pursuing my Master of Science in Computer Scienceat Virginia Commonwealth University. I specialize in backend development, algorithms, and machine learning. I have worked with modern tools like React, React Native, Node.js,Python, and NLP frameworks to build scalable, efficient, and user-centric applications.

Whether I am optimizing data pipelines or crafting intuitive UI, I love solving real-world problems through tech. When I am not coding, you will find me exploring new frameworks or chasing down bugs like mastering the perfect serve in tennis — except bugs don't usually cooperate as nicely as tennis balls!
