About Me

I'm Vishal Shailesh Mandalia, a passionate web developer with over 6 years of experience specializing in creating beautiful and dynamic web applications. I have a strong background in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various frameworks like React and Angular. Additionally, I am proficient in Java, Spring Boot, and WordPress (PHP), and have extensive experience with modern web technologies and development tools.

I hold a Master of Computer Science from Cleveland State University, where I graduated with a 3.9 GPA in May 2023. During my time at Cleveland State, I served as a teaching assistant for courses in operating systems and modern computer system design, mentoring students and assisting in course development. I also earned my Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering from Don Bosco Institute of Technology in India, graduating in August 2020.

Throughout my career, I've developed and designed numerous websites, custom WordPress themes, and plugins. My technical expertise extends to cloud services like AWS and GCP, distributed systems, and microservices including Docker and Kubernetes. I have a solid grasp of CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins and Git, and I'm skilled in database management with MySQL, Oracle, and MongoDB.

In my professional roles, I have significantly improved website functionality and efficiency, enhanced user experience through responsive design, and contributed to SEO and content creation strategies. Notable projects include developing real-time driver surveillance software to enhance road safety and a comprehensive hotel booking website demonstrating full-stack development capabilities.

In my spare time, I love exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, and engaging in coding challenges. I'm always eager to learn and take on new challenges. My dedication to continuous learning is reflected in my various certifications and my role as a teaching assistant, where I mentor students in operating systems, modern computer system design, and embedded systems.

I've also played a leadership role as Vice President of the Entrepreneurship Club at Cleveland State University, fostering innovation and business acumen among my peers. My problem-solving skills and technical expertise have been recognized with multiple victories at community hackathons.
