Rojan Jafarnezhad

Software Developer | Full-Stack Engineer

Computer Programming @ George Brown Polytechnic

Profile

I am a Computer Programming student from George Brown Polytechnic, with a strong foundation in full-stack development, database systems, and security practices. My approach to software development combines technical precision with creative problem-solving, whether it's building scalable web applications or hunting for security vulnerabilities.

Throughout my academic journey, I've maintained a 3.5+ GPA and earned Dean's Honour List recognition for three consecutive semesters (Fall 2024, Winter 2025, Fall 2025). My coursework spans Object-Oriented Programming, Data Structures & Algorithms, Database Design, Software Engineering, and Web Development, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of modern software development practices.

I specialize in full-stack web development with expertise in C#, Python, Java, and JavaScript. My technical toolkit includes ASP.NET Core, React, Node.js, and various database technologies including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Microsoft Azure SQL.

Beyond the classroom, I've participated in hackathons, collaborated on team projects using Agile methodologies, and contributed to real-world applications, being drawn to challenges that require both analytical thinking and creative solutions, from designing efficient database schemas to architecting full-stack applications to identifying security vulnerabilities in production systems.

Currently seeking software development opportunities where I can apply my technical skills, continue learning from experienced developers, and contribute to building meaningful technology solutions. I'm particularly interested in roles involving full-stack development, backend systems, or security engineering.
