Hey, I'm Shiv. I'm a computer engineering student at Iowa State University. I am an aspiring software engineer on a journey to become a professional developer.
About Me
Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I am an aspiring software engineer eager to make meaningful contributions in the technology industry. Whether its projects, school work, or research, I'm fueled by the excitement of problem-solving. My proactive approach to learning, coupled with a strong foundation in programming languages and tools, empowers me to tackle new challenges with confidence. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to continuous growth, I am excited about the opportunities to innovate and create impactful solutions in the ever-evolving field of technology.
When I am not working, I enjoy watching movies and playing videogames. I also enjoy exploring hobbies like 3d printing and playing volleyball. I have high goals for myself, and I hope through consistent effort I can achieve them.
As a part of my engineering curriculum at Iowa State University, I have also made the following reflections on my coursework and schedule there:
