About Me

Hello! My name is Shiva and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in software engineering started back in 2018 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes.

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at an advertising agency, a start-up, and a huge corporation. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences.
