Aspiring Software Engineer | BA LL.B Graduate
Law graduate pivoting to software engineering. Seeking early-career SWE roles.
About Me
I am a BA LL.B graduate from the University of Calcutta who is transitioning into software engineering through focused coursework and hands-on projects. My legal background trained me in structured research, precise documentation, and stakeholder collaboration, while my media work strengthened my communication and product instincts. I am completing Harvard CS50x and practicing algorithmic problem solving on LeetCode. I build full-stack web projects to apply learning, and I am seeking an apprenticeship to gain mentorship and production software experience.
