About Me

Hello! I'm Karan, a software engineer based in California with strong experience building scalable products across web, cloud, and data-driven systems.

I enjoy taking products end-to-end: designing user interfaces, building backend services, testing, debugging, and delivering production-ready software with measurable impact.

Core focus areas:

  • Full Stack Development (JavaScript/TypeScript/React + APIs)
  • Cloud Engineering (AWS, Firebase, Google Cloud)
  • Data & ML Tooling (TensorFlow, Pandas, OpenCV)
  • Reliable Delivery (testing, debugging, iterative releases)

I'm currently open to Full Stack Software Developer opportunities where I can help teams ship fast and build at scale.

Education: M.S. in Computer Science (California State University, Long Beach, 2019) • B.E. in Computer Engineering (Pune University, 2013)
