Hello my name is Usman Asghar and I recently graduated with a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I'm passionate about building scalable, user-friendly web applications and constantly expanding my skillset with new technologies, frameworks, and tools.
My experience spans full-stack development, data analysis, and IT support. I'm skilled in languages like Python, JavaScript, Java, SQL, and C/C++, and I frequently work with tools like AWS, Tableau, Firebase, Git, and Unix.
In the data space, I've applied tools like Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Tableau to perform analysis, build dashboards, and drive insights. I've also built production apps like a fantasy sports analytics platform, a real-time team time tracker, and a RAG chatbot using FastAPI, OpenAI, and Pinecone.
I also have a strong interest in cybersecurity. My background in systems programming, backend development, and client-server interactions has given me a solid foundation in secure coding, authentication, and protecting user data.
Whether it's designing intuitive interfaces, querying complex datasets, or writing secure backend logic, I enjoy working across the stack to build impactful solutions.
