About Me

Kartikkumar Parekh

Software Engineer and Data Analyst!

I am a full-time Honours Computer Science student at Brock University, minoring in Mathematics, with a passion for enhancing software development workflows, DevOps, and IT infrastructure. My experience includes co-op roles at Ontario Power Generation and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, where I developed dynamic dashboards, automated solutions, and user-centric programs, showcasing my technical and problem-solving skills. As a Google Developer Student Club Lead, I demonstrated leadership by fostering an inclusive tech community and organizing workshops on cutting-edge technologies. My recent research work focuses on optimizing 5G vehicular networks using Graph Neural Networks, reflecting my interest in data science and cloud platforms. I am proactive, dedicated, and eager to contribute to all aspects of the System Development Life Cycle, leveraging my diverse technical and collaborative experience.

As a fourth-year Computer Science student at Brock University, I've gained a strong foundation in computer science through courses like Introduction to Algorithms, Advanced Algorithms, Operating Systems, Theory of Computation, Software Engineering, Introduction to Big Data and Data Structures. My co-op terms at Ontario Power Generation have honed my communication and presentation skills, and highlighted the importance of organizational efficiency. I've developed user-friendly programs and applications, and have proficiency in Microsoft Office tools. My collaborative spirit was evident as I contributed to various projects, innovating for improved work efficiency. My voluntary work and studies at Cyber Security India have equipped me with a wealth of programming and security skills. I've learned the value of task division and the use of checklists for efficient task completion. My understanding of theoretical features of potential actions has often led to my selection for task assignment within my team. I've also honed my ability to adapt communication based on the audience. As the president of the Google Developers Student Club at Brock University, I led a diverse team in organizing workshops and coding competitions, honing my leadership skills and deepening my practical understanding of software development. I am proactive, dedicated, and have a love for improving software development workflows and processes. I look forward to contributing to and learning from highly skilled teams
