So, Who's Malaika?

I'm Malaika Rizwan, a Full-Stack Software Developer based in Nowshera, Pakistan, currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Computer Science at Northern University. I specialize in the MERN stack with TypeScript, building scalable REST APIs, real-time WebSocket applications, and event-driven microservices with Apache Kafka. From crafting responsive, accessible frontends with React.js and Next.js to deploying and managing CI/CD pipelines on AWS, I enjoy owning projects end-to-end. I'm currently leading development on a cross-platform learning app built with .NET, and I love turning complex problems into clean, functional products.
