About Me

Hi! I’m Himanshu — a senior software engineer in NYC who enjoys building learner‑first products and thoughtful developer experiences. I love shipping features end‑to‑end, from data and serving infra to polished UI, and I’m happiest when I’m learning something new and sharing it with others.
