Hello, I'm Yash. A full-stack developer with 4+ years building React & Next.js apps, from AI-powered tools to interactive 3D experiences on the web.

About Me

Hi, I'm Yashwanth! I'm a Full Stack Developer passionate about creating engaging and efficient web applications using modern technologies like React, Next.js, and TypeScript. My journey into tech began with an Information Communication Technology degree (and CS minor) from the University of Kentucky. From there, I dove headfirst into self-directed learning and targeted courses (including Advanced React & Next.js, and delving into areas like Three.js for 3D graphics) to build a strong foundation.

I especially enjoy crafting intuitive and responsive user interfaces that work beautifully across devices. My experience extends beyond traditional websites; I've developed custom React components for unique interactive environments, like contributing to a community RAGE MP GTA 5 server, and explored mobile app development using React Native. I thrive in collaborative settings. With Chingu, I've led frontend development for Scrum teams of 6–8 developers. Integrating necessary APIs, implementing user authentication, and managing application state are all aspects I handle confidently to ensure a complete and functional product.

Today I'm a Quality Engineering Analyst at Cognizant, working with BMO, which has sharpened how I think about building software that is reliable and well tested. I'm a quick learner, always excited by new tools and frameworks, and I keep building on the side, from AI apps to 3D experiences on the web.

Outside of work, you can usually find me playing video games, catching up on movies/TV, or getting some exercise in with gymnastics rings. I also love opportunities to travel and connect with people.
