About Me
Hey Everyone! I am Md Hishaam Akhtar. I am a student at Vellore Institute of Technology. I am a Backend Developer at DSC VIT.
Who am I?
Hey Everyone! I am Md Hishaam Akhtar. I study Computer Science at Vellore Institute of Technology. I am a Backend Developer at DSC VIT. I have worked with several tools and technologies including Node.js, MongoDB, Postgres. My favorite tool to work with is Node.js. I also have a Node.js course on Udemy which is free for everyone. I have a fair knowledge of Docker and Cloud Computing. I aim to become a Software Engineer.
What I'm good at
I have worked with several technologies. I have multiple projects which are made with diverse technological stacks. I have worked with DSC VIT on several projects for the community.Node.js and Express.js
Most of my projects feature server side coding. Node.js with Express.js is my choice for such scenarios. It is lightweight, easy to use and most importantly, very easy to get started with.
MongoDB
Document Based Databases are very useful in several places. MongoDB is the most popular Document Based Database out there with several applications. Coupled with Node.js, it forms a great pair for any project.
PostgreSQL
Relational Databases have always had a huge role in the industry. It is one of the most essential skills out there to be learnt. And whats better than learning Postgres, which is the largest free and open source relational database.
Docker
Deployment of applications play a huge role in any project. With the help of docker and its ability to containerize an application, its very easy to deploy. Docker is a useful skill that I learnt while deploying my projects
My Work
Here are some of my works:
Iris
Iris is a fun tool for web hoppers to skip on the long hours of surfing the web and hopping between webpages to find between links or paths between two totally unrelated things and instead getting a clean graph listing all hops between those two unrelated things. Iris also allows users to adjust the depth of this graph and even get the shortest path in this graph.
Hermes
The Hermes project is a live polling website which allows the operating party or organiser to create events while generating unique event codes. Under an established event, the organiser can add multiple polls, quizzes or feedback as found necessary. Other users can participate in the respective event by entering the valid event code and get engaged in the various activities of that particular event LIVE!
Node.js Course
NodeJS is an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime which is open source and cross-platform. It is the fastest growing open source project with more than a billion downloads. It is becoming increasingly popular owing to its traits of being extremely lightweight and flexible for building scalable web apps and APIs. It has found applications in web apps of Netflix, PayPal, LinkedIn and Uber, to name a few. Through this course we hope to introduce you to this powerful tool, get you started on building APIs so you hit the ground running as you begin your backend web development journey.
Node.js Webinar
Back-end development is one of the primary domains chosen by any beginner coding enthusiast. Back-end development refers to server-side development. It is the term used for behind-the-scenes activities that happen on a website like logging in to an account, sending a text-message or purchasing an item on an online store. NodeJS is an application runtime environment that allows you to write server-side applications in JavaScript. It comes with many APIs making it suitable for backend development. If you're a beginner, eager to acquire a new skill, back-end development with Node.js is a great option. Learn more about it in this webinar.
