Welcome!

I'm Jagroop Gill, a Software Engineering Student

Hello! I am an aspiring software engineer and also studying it at Drexel University with an expected graduation date of June 2027. I always steered towards the engineering side of my academic and personal journey. When I reached the end of high school, I took my first coding course and decided that it was for me. It solidified my path for my future endeavors and put me on the journey I am on today.

I have a constantly growing/developing array of coding languages that I possess. I have an intermediate/good understanding of Java, C, Bash, Python and am still expanding on them. I have worked on a project where I took on the front-end developer role for the team. That project along with the website that you are currently on have given me an insight into HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ASP.NET. I also have years of experience in warehouse work and customer/food service roles.

Once I graduate, I hope to get my foot in the door into the corporate world of software engineering. I want to get as much experience as possible, especially being a newly graduated student, I want a chance to prove myself. In the long term, wherever I go, I hope to make an impact. I want to positively affect the lives of as many users as possible.
