# Deepankar Chakraborty > Software Engineer Turned Data Enthusiast | When Life Gives Me Data, I Make Insights Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/deepankar Computer Science student by day, superhero coder by night. When I'm not saving the world from buggy code and data breaches, you can find me buried in a stack of textbooks and energy drinks. Pro tip: never underestimate the power of a well-placed emoji in your commit messages. I am a computer science student with a passion for software development and a strong interest in machine learning and data science. Growing up in a small rural town, I was surrounded by nature and had a deep appreciation for the environment. However, I also noticed the lack of access to modern technology in my community and the limited opportunities that this lack of access presented. I was fascinated by the potential of technology to bring new opportunities and solutions to even the most remote areas. This sparked a fire in me to further explore the possibilities of technology and led me to pursue a degree in computer science. With expertise in technologies such as Java, Python, JavaScript, React, and Database management, I am skilled in software development with a passion for creating dynamic, user-friendly, secure, and scalable web applications. With a strong foundation in algorithms, data structures, and programming languages, I am confident in my ability to analyze, design, and implement complex systems. In addition to my technical skills, I bring a unique perspective to my work, always considering the social and environmental impact of the technology I create. ## Work Experience ### Associate Computer Applications Programmer @ New York State Unified Court System Jan 2025 – Present ### Software Developer @ The New York Academy of Sciences Jan 2024 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area ### Database Engineer @ The Difference Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | New York, United States • Enhanced MySQL stored procedures, significantly improving database performance.
