Hi, I'm Ankit Patel
I am a very enthusiastic person with a passion for coding and technology. My journey into coding began at university, where I had the opportunity to learn programming language like C and program micro-controllers using assembly language.
After coming to UK I started as a junior Import Consultant and worked my way up to Imports Manager. I developed my coding skills in my spare time through countless articles, blogs, tutorials, books and then I joined the self-funded Development Professional Programme at Just IT to persue my goal of a career in software development.I now have strong skills in C#, ASP.net, NET MVC, SQL server 2012 and object-oriented programming.
Now I am really looking forward to starting my software development career.
I have gained an excellent communication skills because of my daily interaction with customers at my previous job as a Imports Manager.Dealing with customers complaints effectively and addressing their concerns was an important aspect of my job.
For me problems is an opportunity that makes me see things differently and to do things in a different way. Dealing with a problem and coming up with an innovative solution gives me positive sense of accomplisment.
Time Management is really important for me as it helps me become more efficient and effective as a person and as a working individual. My previous work experience and my time at university did help me realise the importance of Time Managment, as it helps meeting deadlines with good quality work over quantity.
For me being orgaised is an important part of job, as it helps in being more Time Efficient, helps increasing productivity and reduce stress level. Its one of the main reason that i am able to meet all the dealines and deliver the results expected of me in time.
I enjoy the satisfation of a solving a difficult puzzle or fixing a bug. Logical thinking helps me complete a tast in a systematic, sequential decision-making method.
Working with a team is always a joy, its always bring best out of me. All of my projects at university were completed in time becasue of our team work. Innovative solution to a complex problem can be easily achieved because of team work.
