Hi, I'm Himanshu Kiran Garud

A

I am Himanshu Kiran Garud, a Master's student in Computer Science at UNC Charlotte and over two years of professional experience as a software engineer. As a Software Engineer Intern at EPRI, I developed interactive web applications using Vue.js and TypeScript, ensuring 95% cross-device compatibility and creating dynamic graph visualizations with Observable Plot, reducing rendering time by 20%. At Persistent Systems, I optimized ETL pipelines, automated workflows, and migrated systems from GraphQL to SQL, improving runtime by 30% and reducing AWS billing time by 65%. During my internship at Eastro Control Systems, I built a fault-tolerant web application for employee work-hour management, optimized database performance, and enhanced operational efficiency by 30%. Proficient in Python, Java, Vue.js, and AWS, I am passionate about solving complex problems and delivering impactful, user-focused solutions.
