Software Engineer
ANISH SHIVAMURTHY
I build practical software systems with a strong mix of engineering depth and product focus.
Hi, I’m Anish. I’m currently pursuing my Master of Computer Science at UC Irvine, and I’m genuinely excited about building software that is useful, reliable, and thoughtfully engineered.
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz, where I built a strong foundation in algorithms, systems, and machine learning while gaining hands-on experience through research and instructional roles.
Over the past few years, I’ve worked on backend APIs, data pipelines, and AI-driven applications, including educational platforms and real-time voice systems.
What motivates me most is software engineering and AI: designing clean systems, solving meaningful problems, and building technology that creates real impact for users and teams.
