Have you experienced stress due to under-estimating or over-estimating a task? Here is a technique that helped me optimize my work and REDUCE stress.• Before starting any task estimate the completion time• Use a timer to measure the cycle• Reflect on the accuracy • Keep circ*mstances like environment, distractions, unexpected blockers, etc in mind when estimatingI have seen how important it is to set realistic estimates to save yourself from stress and anxiety. It also helps you understand your work patterns and optimize for the future.I like to keep things simple and Trello has worked for me with some automations and power-ups.You can try it whether you are a Software Engineer, Manager, Founder, or anything else.How do you optimize your time?

Importance of reading documentation - Get Better as a Developer❓Why reading documentation is always a good idea? Instead of jumping to solutions and copy-pasting them. Try reading documentation available online because:• It will help you become a better developer in the long run• You won’t be googling the same thing now and then• it will build confidence and help in fighting imposter syndrome• it builds strong concepts and you will not rely on one language or framework❓ Why not google the answer?When you’re stuck in a problem, google is where you go for the solution. 99% of the time you’ll find a solution and forget.• You can repeat it 100 times because you are not learning.• It impacts your confidence and leads to imposter syndrome• You will not learn which means you don’t grow❓Why not use ChatGPT?I believe ChatGPT or other tools are great for optimizing your productivity and solely relying on these tools and not trying yourself will make you worse.• If you are not trying, AI has already replaced you.🪞My ExperienceI have always used documentation when I face an issue. It doesn’t mean that I don’t use Google or ChatGPT but my first place is documentation. In my last project, I built my first AI-powered app and faced many issues which I resolved by going through documentation. • Arxiv: I was scraping data at first which I didn’t like, after reading I found they have an API that provides an XML response which I had to convert into a JSON format which was also a bit dirty. After more reading online I got a library which does it all for you. My code got a lot cleaner.• Open AI: to understand the request and response format of ‘Assistants API’• Vercel: I wanted to save files temporarily in the file directory of my app which Vercel didn’t allow, I found they provide a ‘/tmp folder’ instead.Share your thoughts/feedback/experiences.------I'm an experienced Fullstack Software Engineer with 2 years of experience, utilizing Node.js with Express, Python, and Databases like SQL, and NoSQL for efficient backends.

🚀 Data Science Noob to a Distinction: My Journey and Learnings 🎓Embarking on my MSc Data Science journey at Middlesex University London in 2022 was a risky step for me as I come from a Software Engineering background. It was a challenging road with hurdles like adjusting to a new country, studying with a part-time job, and homesickness. During my master’s, I studied the courses like Modelling, Regression, Machine Learning, Visual Data Analysis, and more. While I was performing well in other courses, Machine Learning posed a significant challenge initially. To overcome this, I dedicated countless hours to self-learning through Coursera courses and other online resources.In my Individual Data Science Project, I decided to take on the challenge of choosing a topic that involved my weak concepts so I could improve, and a topic that taps into the latest AI trends i.e. ChatGPT & Transformers. The journey was intense, I worked day and night as I delved into Python libraries like cv2, TensorFlow, and Keras. I explored Convolutional Neural Networks, Vision Transformers, data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation. Experimenting with pre-trained models and custom architectures, I honed my skills in data analysis and model selection. As a result of these efforts, I scored an unexpected distinction. What started as a goal became a reality, showcasing the power of dedication and perseverance in the face of challenges.I'm excited to apply these skills and insights to real-world projects, driving innovation and impact in the field of data science. Let's connect and share our experiences in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and AI.Dissertation Topic: Detecting plant diseases with leaf images using Deep Learning Techniques and Vision TransformersP.S. Me looking at the poster of my dissertation (proud moment).#datascience

🎓 Officially a Master of Science in Data Science! 🚀Dear LinkedIn community,I am thrilled to share a significant milestone in my journey – I've successfully graduated with an MSc in Data Science! 🎉As an international student who arrived in the UK in September 2022, the road to this achievement was filled with both academic and personal challenges. From navigating the complexities of finding accommodation and part-time work to overcoming homesickness and cultural differences, every hurdle has been a stepping stone to personal and professional growth.During my time in the UK, I took on diverse part-time roles, from serving as a sales assistant at Tk Maxx to working in warehouses as a parcel sorter 🥵 – experiences that not only taught me the value of hard work but also enriched my understanding of the world beyond academia.✅ I had the privilege of contributing to two early-stage startups, honing my skills in ExpressJS, ReactJS, NextJS, and React Native✅ I worked at CreditBook (backed by top global investors including Tiger Global). I worked on their product built in React and React Native, which was used by over a million small and medium-sized enterprises. Through this experience, I gained valuable insight into the fast-paced startup environment.✅ As a founding engineer at LastingSales, I worked on critical bug fixes both on the frontend and backend, documented the product architecture, learned ReactJS, implemented it, communicated with UI designers, and led a small team of fresh graduates. I worked an average of 10+ hours a day.✅ My dedication to continuous learning was underscored in my MSc dissertation, where I delved into the world of Deep Learning. The topic, "Detecting Plant Diseases using Deep Learning Techniques and Vision Transformers," was a challenging yet rewarding pursuit, resulting in a distinction 🙌 that I once deemed impossible.As I embark on the next chapter, I am on the lookout for opportunities in Full Stack Developer | Software Engineer roles at any startup anywhere in the UK. Please reach out if you can help 🙏I am confident in my ability to bring a quick learning curve and contribute significantly to the success of any forward-thinking company.I am eager to connect with founders and recruiters who share a passion for innovation and can guide me into the thriving startup industry.

"Calling all developers & entrepreneurs! Let's discover the most crucial step to building a product with ZERO Hassle"Yes! I am talking about following the process of software dev lifecycle (SDLC).Software lifecycle is the step-by-step journey that software undergoes, from an idea to a usable product. As a non-tech founder, understanding this process is crucial for successfully building and launching your product in a time-efficient manner. 📈SDLC involves multiple sub-processes, which includes:1️⃣ Requirements Gathering and Planning 2️⃣ Design 3️⃣ Development (Coding) 4️⃣ Deployment and Release 5️⃣ Maintenance and Updates In this post (1/2), I will be explaining first two and the most crucial sub-processes of SDLC:1️⃣ Requirements Gathering and Planning: This step determines what we are building and how long it might take to build it. All of the stakeholders must be involved in this step. Next thing is to document functional requirements (such as features, functionalities, and interactions) and non-functional requirements(like performance, security, scalability, and usability). Now break down everything into different milestones and estimate costs both in terms of money and time. Finally gathered requirements are compiled into a requirements specification document which serves as a reference for the team. It includes detailed descriptions of features, user stories, use cases, and any other relevant information. This step plays an important role in the scoping of the project and brings clarity to everyone involved. 2️⃣ Design:In this step, requirements are translated into a detailed blueprint and this phase is important to guide the development process. It includes ▪︎System architecture (like selecting appropriate technologies)▪︎UI/UX design (like creating layouts, wireframes & mockups to visualise our final product)▪︎Database design (such as creating relationships between entities and see how they will communicate with each other in the backend) ▪︎ Component design (involves breaking down the system into smaller, manageable units to achieve modularity)▪︎ Security design (includes choosing appropriate mechanisms to protect from potential threats & vulnerabilities). Let's talk about these questions 🌱 ▶︎ Is there anything more important in the process of launching a successful product?▶︎ What do you think about importance of Software development lifecycle?▶︎ Have you struggled with launching your product or never released one due to ignoring this process? ▶︎ Do you think it needs some modifications? or are there faster/better approaches available?📣 Share your thoughts in the comments below! #software #uxdesign #development #softwaredevelopment #entrepreneurs #tech #freelance #ui #design #team #project #architecture #coding #startup #mvp
