After working for 4 years as a Software Developer, I'll be upskilling myself with more knowledge and education through a Masters's of Science in Computer Science degree. My courses for the first semester include Advanced Object-Oriented Programming, Modern web development Framework. I intend on taking Advanced and Parallel Algorithms, Software Engineering, and Full Stack Web Development Courses for my next semester. My goal is to be a better full-stack developer and abide by the best practices and industry standards.
