About Me

  • Name: Varun Sivapalan
  • Date of birth: 23 May 1991
  • Nationality: Norwegian

Objective

I'm looking for opportunities to work and upgrade myself, as well as being involved in an organization that believes in gaining a competitive edge. As an individual, I'm a driven person, who enjoys working on challenging projects, and I consider myself a fast-learner. I enjoy programming and enjoy working in teams, but I’m also able to work independently when required.

What I Do

With a background in software engineering, I have experience in designing and developing full-stack solutions for both web and mobile. My set of skills ranges from backend development using languages such as Java (either with raw servlets or with Spring MVC) and JavaScript (Node.js) to frontend development with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, using frameworks such as Angular.js. When it comes to mobile app development, I have a lot of experience in Android development, and some experience in cross-platform development using Cordova and Ionic.
