About Me
Hello! I'm Atharva Negi, a Software Engineer with 1+ years of experience in full-stack and backend systems development.
I am currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Emory University in Atlanta, where I maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA. My expertise spans across modern web technologies, with strong foundations in algorithms, data structures, and scalable system design.
Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at Emory University, where I've refactored and modernized a graduate admissions platform by migrating from Angular to React.js + Redux, integrated with Flask backend and PostgreSQL database. This work has improved modularity and reduced frontend bug reports by 40%.
Previously, I worked at Cognizant where I maintained high-traffic Drupal platforms, delivered 10+ custom modules, and streamlined development workflows using Agile methodologies, reducing system downtime by 98%.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Devi Ahilya University with an 8.5 GPA, focusing on Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, and Database Systems.
Here are a few technologies I've known thoroughly:
