About Me
Hi, I'm Savitha 👋🏻! Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
I currently work as a Senior Software Engineer, building full-stack web applications and internal developer tooling. My stack of choice is TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, GraphQL, and AWS. I'm currently deepening my expertise in distributed systems, system design, and AI/GenAI tooling.
Outside work, I write about things I learn - distributed systems patterns, frontend architecture, and the occasional deep dive into something I found genuinely interesting. I also maintain reading notes on papers and engineering blogs that shape how I think.
When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm out with my camera 📸, reading philosophy 📚, listening to music 🎵, working out 🏋️♀️, or doing yoga 🧘♀️. I'm also a nature enthusiast 🌿 who loves spending time outdoors.
If you want to talk tech, swap ideas, or have an opportunity worth discussing - reach out via email or LinkedIn.
