👋Hi, I'mSirish Gurung.

I am a aspiring software engineer who loves solving real-world problems. I'm originally from Nepal and now live in Florida, where I'm a senior studying Computer Science at Florida Polytechnic University. I also work as an IT Technician on campus, and I recently interned as a Full-Stack developer at Everglades Financial. I'm most interested in learning cloud infrastructure and DevOps. I like figuring out how to build and deploy apps that are scalable. I am also interested in AI and machine learning and am currently doing research on its applications at school. I enjoy solving problems and learning new tools whenever I can. Outside of tech, in my free time I love hiking and being outdoors. If I feel productive, whenever I learn a new tool or framework, I write about it on my blog. It helps me remember what I've learned, and I hope it's useful to other developers working with the same technologies.

Career Summary and Goals

I am an aspiring software engineer with a passion for solving complex real-world problems. Currently, I am a senior completing my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Florida Polytechnic University. My coursework focuses on core skills like data structures, algorithms, operating systems, networking, and databases. I have a strong interest in full-stack web development, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems, and I have also been curious about artificial intelligence and machine learning.

I have been building technical skills around designing highly resilient systems and scalable applications. I have used web frameworks like React, Next.js, Astro, and Node.js to develop my full-stack engineering skills. I have experience in database architecture, including PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and am also familiar with cloud provisioning through AWS EKS, Docker, and Terraform. I have experience in multiple programming languages such as C++, Python, TypeScript, SQL, and PHP. To hone my CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) expertise, I have been learning product testing via Vitest and Playwright, and deployment pipelines in GitHub Actions. All these are skills I have learned through coursework, personal projects, and professional work.

I worked as a Full-Stack Developer Intern at Everglades Financial, where I worked on designing and developing a web application from scratch, collaborating with stakeholders to specify business requirements, and building the foundational frontend and backend of the project. I am working as an IT student worker, where I handle Tier-1 IT service requests for thousands of campus devices and accounts. This job has given me experience in troubleshooting hardware and software, managing university-owned devices, diagnosing network and system issues, and deploying software updates across campus infrastructure. Apart from my technical experience, I have also polished my soft skills through my work as a Student grader, Peer Tutor and Research Assistant.

My career goal is to become a software engineer who can design and build scalable cloud infrastructure and machine learning platforms. I am particularly interested in working on distributed systems, cloud-native applications, and AI/ML solutions that can solve real-world problems.
