Riya Kulkarni

Hey! I'm Riya.
I'm passionate about finding creative solutions to complex problems and building dynamic, clean websites.

I've been hooked on programming since I was 14, and since then, I've worked with React, Redux, Ruby on Rails, MERN, and more.

Who I Am

Background


I'm a Massachusetts Native and I've had an appreciation for coding since I was young. I studied Java and Python throughout high school, and three years ago, I moved to the Bay Area to study computer science at UC Berkeley.

I gained a solid foundation in algorithms and data structures, and by my third year, I was itching to build applications that people would use and love. That's when I developed an interest in web development.

Currently


In the last year, I've learnt Ruby and Javascript, and have also gained experience with frameworks such as Rails and React. I focus on writing clean, comprehensible code and building user-friendly applications.

I'm really excited to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, and to continue to learn new skills. When I'm not coding, you'll find me singing, photographing my friends, watching Parks and Rec, or playing with my sweet cat :)
