Khadija Agha

Hi, I'm Khadija and I'm a Full Stack developer based in London.

About Me

Transitioned from life sciences to software engineering driven by a passion for coding's problem-solving aspect. After completing a life sciences degree, I chose full-stack development due to its vast scope. As a woman from a South Asian background, I aim to be a role model and increase diversity in the tech industry. Analytical and creative with a background in art, I embrace tech's challenges for innovative, impactful solutions. Eager to join a collaborative team that promotes learning and contributes to positive societal change.

Art Tools

“Art Tools” - An online shop where users can login and browse a range of quality art supplies and shop. Working on the backend and ensuring it works through testing the various routes using Postman and REST Client. Working on the frontend using React to render the appropriate components and building the functions to submit data.

Qurate

“Qurate” - Social media platform specifically for artists to showcase their work and to act as a market for their work. My role included the organisation of team planning through platforms such as Trello. Additionally, setting up the skeleton of the app in terms of routing and rendering of necessary pages. Furthermore, developing the ‘comments’ and ‘likes’ functionality. More details found in my ReadMe.

Clarity

“Clarity” - A social media/meditation App where users can share their techniques of meditation and achieve calm. Routing and building of the respective controller functions, then rendering this in an HTML/ejs, ensuring a consistent user interface appropriate to the app's theme.

Snake Game

The Classic Snake Game from the 70s/80s. Using JavaScript, put my knowledge of functions and new methods such as setInterval() into play. Additionally, manipulating arrays using a range of methods and iteration techniques. Great opportunity to practice the foundations before diving into full-stack.

I take immense pleasure in exploring and expressing my creativity through various art forms, including visiting art galleries, drawing, painting, and photography.

These interests serve as my refuge during times of stress, offering a sense of balance and fulfillment in my life.
