Hi, I am Snigdha Tiwari 
I'm a Software Engineer based in New Jersey, currently building a real-time social listening platform at Narravance, working across the full stack on everything from sentiment analysis pipelines to live analytics dashboards.
I hold a Master of Software Engineering in Scalable Systems from Carnegie Mellon University (December 2024) and a B.E. in Electronics and Instrumentation from BITS Pilani, India. Over the past few years through internships, freelance work, and now full-time engineering, I've built up a pretty broad foundation across the stack, and developed a genuine interest in scalable systems, accessibility, and computing education. Outside of work, I'm currently developing an accessibility audit agent, picking up new tools and techniques as the project demands them. I also love building things just for the fun of it.
My tech stack spans JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Java, and C/C++, with frameworks like React, Next.js, Flutter, and Django, and infrastructure across AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, and more. I enjoy the full journey, from architecting systems to sweating the details of the user experience.
