<developer>Hi, I'm
Muhammad Talha.</developer>

I build full-stack web apps

Final-semester Software Development student at Mohawk College, graduating in December 2026. I just finished a co-op as a Junior Software Engineer at Websplines. I build Laravel backends, mobile apps and AI chatbots, and I test software closely enough to catch the bugs before users do.

Why hire me

Three things I bring to a team

01

Backend that holds up

PHP and Laravel features built the MVC way, REST APIs that frontends can rely on, and databases designed and tuned with real normalization.

LaravelRESTMySQL
02

A tester's eye

Professional QA experience: written test plans, regression cycles and bug reports developers can act on. I test my own code the same way.

Test plansAPI testingRegression
03

AI and mobile range

Chatbots built with NLP and the OpenAI API, machine learning coursework from clustering to CNNs, plus Android, React Native and iPhone apps built with Swift and UIKit.

About

A bit about me

I moved from Pakistan to Canada in 2014, and I've been building things ever since. Give me an idea for a website and I'm in.

I'm in my final semester of the Advanced Diploma in Computer Systems Technology at Mohawk College, graduating in December 2026. During my co-op at Websplines I built Laravel backends and tested client platforms, and I found I enjoy both sides: building features and figuring out how they break.

Before tech I led shifts and trained new staff in retail and food service, so I'm comfortable on a team and under pressure.

Next, I plan to complete my degree at McMaster University. Long term, I want to make a real name for myself in software.
