About Me
I’m Shiwam Srivastava, a passionate Software Development Engineer with a strong drive to create impactful, efficient, and scalable software solutions. My journey in technology began with a curiosity to understand how things work beneath the surface—and has since evolved into a deep commitment to building systems that are not only functional but also maintainable and elegant. I thrive in environments where problem-solving is key. Whether it’s debugging a tricky issue, optimizing performance, or designing system architecture from scratch, I enjoy diving deep into challenges and coming out with clean, logical, and scalable solutions. With a solid foundation in computer science and hands-on experience across the full software development lifecycle, I bring both analytical thinking and practical execution to the table. My expertise spans full-stack development, where I’m comfortable working across both frontend and backend technologies. From designing intuitive user interfaces to developing RESTful APIs and managing databases, I enjoy working on every layer that brings an application to life. I have experience with modern frameworks, cloud services, and version control systems that support collaborative and agile development. Above all, I believe in continuous learning and growth. The tech world is constantly evolving, and I make it a point to stay updated with emerging tools and best practices. I see every project as an opportunity to learn something new and contribute meaningfully to the team and the product. I aspire to use my skills to build software that not only meets business goals but also enhances the lives of its users. ⸻ Let me know if you’d like this adapted for a resume, LinkedIn bio, or portfolio intro.
