strong foundation in full-stack development with expertise in JavaScript, React.js, Java, JDBC, and
MySQL. I have built projects like a Hospital Management System, which simplifies patient
management, and a social media app, PicaBook, that integrates real-time updates using Firebase. I
enjoy problem-solving and have worked with Git for version control. Apart from coding, I am an NSS
cadet, which has enhanced my leadership and teamwork skills.
Why should we hire you?
I have a strong technical background in full-stack development, along with hands-on experience in
building real-world applications. My ability to work with both frontend (React.js, Tailwind CSS) and
backend (Java, JDBC, MySQL, REST APIs) makes me a versatile candidate. Additionally, my
problem-solving skills and commitment to continuous learning ensure that I can adapt to new
challenges quickly.

technologies.
Tell me about a challenge you faced in a project and how you handled it.
During the development of my PicaBook social media app, I faced an issue with real-time updates
lagging. To solve this, I optimized data retrieval using Firestore indexes and implemented a
debounce mechanism to reduce unnecessary API calls.

Technical Interview Questions & Answers
Explain the working of your Hospital Management System.
The system simplifies hospital operations by handling patient registration, appointment scheduling,
and medical records. It uses Java with JDBC for secure, real-time database transactions in MySQL.
How does React.js handle state management?
React manages state using the useState hook for local component state and useContext or Redux
for global state. State changes trigger re-renders, ensuring UI updates dynamically.
What is the difference between SQL and NoSQL databases?
SQL databases (like MySQL) use structured tables with fixed schemas, ideal for complex
transactions. NoSQL (like MongoDB) is schema-less and best for flexible, scalable applications.
How does JDBC work?
JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) allows Java applications to interact with databases. Steps: 1.
Load JDBC Driver, 2. Establish Connection, 3. Execute Query, 4. Process Results, 5. Close
Connection.
What are REST APIs, and how do they work?
REST APIs allow communication between client and server using HTTP methods: GET (fetch data),
POST (send data), PUT (update data), DELETE (remove data). They return data in JSON format.
What is Git, and how do you use it?
Git is a version control system. Common commands: git init (initialize repo), git add . (add changes),
git commit -m 'message' (save changes), git push origin main (upload to GitHub).
Explain the concept of Promises in JavaScript.
A Promise handles asynchronous operations in JavaScript. It has three states: Pending, Resolved,
and Rejected. Example: A function returning a promise that resolves after 2 seconds.
