sanika hi, i am Sanika Ardekar

I’m a Software Engineer passionate about web development, data analytics, and machine learning.
I currently work as a Software Engineer building cloud-powered applications with TypeScript and AWS.
Big fan of hackathons, research work, and the “let’s try this and see what happens” mindset. I’m always learning, always building, and occasionally breaking things (for science, of course).

Hobbies: Reading books, playing pickleball, cooking and exploring new eateries.

Fun Fact: i love coffee and coconut.
