About Me
Hello! I'm Vivek, a passionate software engineer with a focus on AI-driven applications and performant web experiences.
With extensive experience in full-stack development, I thrive on solving complex problems at the intersection of artificial intelligence and user experience. My technical approach combines cutting-edge technologies with scalable architecture to build solutions that are both powerful and intuitive.
My journey began with a deep curiosity about computer science fundamentals, which evolved into a passion for creating intelligent systems. I've since worked across various domains including e-commerce platforms, video streaming, real estate, fin tech and now insurance tech with Qoala always prioritizing clean code and optimal performance.
When I'm not immersed in code, you'll find me contributing to open-source AI projects, writing technical blog posts about emerging technologies, or exploring the great outdoors. I'm constantly seeking new challenges and collaborations that push the boundaries of what's possible!
