About

I’m a software developer with a knack for building scalable, efficient, and maintainable systems and a passion for turning complex problems into elegant code. I have graduated with a Master's in Computer Science from the University of Florida, I’m deep into Java, C++, and a few other languages that keep me busy. At UF, I’ve contributed to projects that make learning feel like a game, with real-time visualizations under Dr. Kristy Boyer’s Lab. I also designed the frontend for Storiza, an educational tool that boosted student engagement by 40% because who doesn’t love a good user experience? On the backend, I improved data retrieval speed by 30% because speed is the new black. Before UF, I helped Zopsmart go from monolithic to microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and a whole lot of caffeine. I helped take a coding platform to the next level by optimizing performance and scaling it to support thousands of users. Check out my projects and portfolio here: https://www.ishtmeet-arora.com I’m all about solving tough problems, optimizing systems, and learning along the way. Always looking for new challenges and collaborative projects where we can push the boundaries of tech and maybe have some fun along the way. Let’s connect if you’re looking for a developer who’s all about making things better, faster, and with a little bit of flair! ✨ Feel free to drop me a message here or at ishtmeet.arora@gmail.com.
