About Me

About

Who am I?

Hi there! I’m Shambhavi—an enthusiastic problem-solver who grew up in India, and discovered an early love for building robust, scalable systems. After earning my Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science from Vellore Institute of Technology, I moved to the U.S. to pursue my Master’s at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Along the way, I’ve tackled challenges at Baker Hughes—turning raw data into actionable insights—and at HP Inc., where I helped design PCI-compliant payment systems trusted by merchants worldwide.

From constructing CI/CD pipelines and orchestrating message queues to debugging large-scale applications, I’m all about creating tech solutions that are both powerful and seamless. I love piecing everything together and seeing how each system component interacts in the real world. When I’m not heads-down in code, you might find me solving puzzles, exploring the latest tech trends, or experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen.

Thanks for stopping by—check out my resume and projects to see what I’ve been up to, and feel free to reach out if you’d like to connect or collaborate.
