About Me

My Journey

Hello! I'm Darshil, my passion for software development began with a love for gaming. As a student, I was fascinated by how games were made, which led me to explore coding and eventually build small games using Unity during my academic years. Through online courses and hands-on projects, I discovered how much I enjoy debugging, problem-solving, and bringing ideas to life through code.

That passion grew into a career starting with startup environments where I wore multiple hats, to larger organizations like RBC where I contributed to robust platforms like PayEdge. Over time, I’ve built a variety of applications, from food ordering systems to fintech tools, using technologies like Laravel, Vue.js, MySQL, Java Spring Boot, and more.

What drives me most is solving real-world problems through intuitive and reliable applications. I take pride in delivering not just functional features, but solutions that offer smooth user experiences and bring real value to end-users. Whether it's resolving customer queries, building scalable architectures, or polishing UX, I’m always focused on creating software that people genuinely find helpful and satisfying to use.
