Hi, my name's Bim Rai.

About Me

Good to see you here! I’m a Computer Science student specialising in Software Development, passionate about creating apps and software that make everyday life easier and more meaningful.

I’m currently glued to my MacBook, mastering Swift and iOS development in Xcode, exploring both UIKit and SwiftUI to design clean, functional mobile experiences.

Beyond the front end, I’m learning the fundamentals of app architecture, data persistence with Core Data and UserDefaults, networking with RESTful APIs, and back-end integration using Firebase. My goal is to become a fully fledged iOS developer capable of building complete, end-to-end applications, from beautiful interfaces to connected, data-driven experiences.

Although iOS development is my main focus, my strongest skill is JavaScript. I’m currently mastering advanced concepts such as OOP, asynchronous programming, APIs (Fetch, WebSockets, Geolocation, Notifications, etc.), and scopes. With this growing expertise, I often find myself exploring Back-End and even Full-Stack Development, supported by my experience with ReactJS through the Meta Front-End Development Certification. The best part is that it also enables me to scale and expand into iOS development, integrating it seamlessly with a back end.

Ultimately, my purpose and drive to develop stem from the desire to create peace of mind. I believe technology, when guided by the right methods and morals, can be a force for good - enhancing our existing skills and knowledge while helping solve problems both big and small.
