About Me
I am a software engineer with a strong focus on Cloud Computing and CI/CD, but also with experience in both mobile and web development. Designing and building efficient, resilient, and cost-effective software solutions excites me.
To learn advanced Computer Science techniques for building software which is equally a joy to create and use, I have joined the University of California, Davis, as a graduate student in Fall 2021.
In my spare time, you’ll find me reading about anything that stimulates my brain, be it coding practices, human psychology, or the latest Murakami novel. I also enjoy mentoring new developers and blogging about topics that they will find helpful as they step into their tech careers.
I am interested in internship opportunities for Summer 2022. Please feel free to contact me at vajha@ucdavis.edu.
