Shamak Agarwal — Co-Founder
Hello! I’m Shamak Vikash Agarwal, a Computer Science student at Pennsylvania State University, passionate about backend development, scalable systems, and AI driven solutions. My journey in technology combines hands-on coding experience, leadership roles, and a deep curiosity about how systems power global platforms. I’ve had the opportunity to explore backend development, working with Python, databases, APIs, and system architecture to build efficient and scalable solutions. My experience as a Course Assistant for IST 130 at Penn State has allowed me to mentor students in programming, debugging, and software concepts. Additionally, my time managing an electronics retail business sharpened my problem-solving skills, helping optimize operations and scale revenue. Beyond tech, I’ve built a strong presence on social media, where my content has amassed 13 million+ views, 26,000+ followers, and over 800,000 interactions. This experience has given me firsthand insights into content engagement, platform algorithms, and the backend mechanics that drive digital experiences. I am constantly exploring new opportunities to bridge my technical expertise with real-world applications, whether through AI, backend engineering, or large-scale system design. Currently, I’m looking to contribute my skills to impactful projects in the tech industry and collaborate with like-minded innovators.
