Profile: https://flows.cv/avinashbabu

I’ve always been a great problem solver and a technophile obsessed with the latest devices. I started learning to code when I was a teenager as a hobby and it turned into a career I love.

I’m familiar with a variety of programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, PHP, jQuery, and ReactJS, but I’m always adding new skills to my repertoire. I’m also eager to meet other software engineers in the area, so feel free to connect!
