Hi, I am Havisha. I am a self taught software engineer and learning new technology enthusiast. Interested in leveraging 4+ years of hands-on design experience in tech industry to pivot into software development.
I studied BS and MS in Electrical Engineering. My interest in computer science started while I was using software tools to implement hardware(ASIC) design.
Due to this, I took online programming courses. I also attended coding bootcamp and I learned three full stacks (Python, MEAN and IOS) in 3 months. I have implemented multiple web and mobile apps by using various frameworks. I fell in love with coding and realized that programming skills are essential in our daily life.
I am a creative thinker with passion in building innovative apps while making the user's interaction as simple and efficient. I love to design and develop maintainable apps.
I love coding, traveling, singing (carnatic music), pencil sketching, volunteering, and blogging! Contact me if you want to know more about me.

In my free time, you either can find me at the gorgeous landscapes with my camera, running tracks, hiking parks, volunteering events, and if I am not there then it means I am coding in a hackathon or attending tech conference and workshops
I love attending Hackathons. I started attending hackathons from 2016 and fell in love with speed coding, networking and learning new technologies. My first hackathon was hack for a Safe Campus in 2016 by Paypal and my team won first place for build an App that lets students report sexual assaults anonymously and socialize with others through a forum. I have attended other hackathons at VRHACK@CAL, Small Business Hackathon, and Hackathon for Puerto Rico. Hackathon is a great place to get an Idea, connect, solve, and present. I believe that Hackathons are not just a place to win a prize, but "Hackathons are where your crazy idea becomes reality" by Alex Kern
I love traveling. I have traveled to five different countries and 26 states in USA. One day, I want to visit all 50 states in USA and 7 wonders of the world. I travel to different places to understand the culture, technology, and natural ecosystems. I believe that "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." by Saint Augustine

I started photography from 2013. I believe that “Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” — Aaron Siskind
From high school, I have been volunteering in many places. In the past, I had done community services at Sankara Eye Foundation, Kaiser Permanente Hospital, Reading Partners and more. I try to volunteer at least 100 hours in a year. I developed this hobbie while I was trying to win 200 hours Community service award from Fremont Union District, 2005. I believe that "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
I have been hiking from childhood. I believe that “Hiking is a bit like life: The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other…again and again and again. And if you allow yourself the opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek, you will witness beauty every step of the way, not just at the summit”
I have been drawing from childhood. I love abstract and human face drawing. "Life is just like painting. Draw the lines with hope. Erase the errors with tolerance. Dip the brush with lots of patience. And color it with LOVE."
Feel free to get in touch with me about any opportunities.
