I’m Anshika, a Software Engineer at PayPal with prior experience at NASDAQ. I work at the intersection of backend systems, full-stack development, and applied AI, focusing on building scalable, reliable software that solves real problems. I enjoy thinking in systems, understanding trade-offs, and writing code with intent. Alongside my professional work, I’ve explored AI/ML projects and continuously strengthened my foundations in computer science and system design. I’m also passionate about mentorship and knowledge-sharing, especially helping students and early-career engineers navigate tech with clarity and confidence. I value depth, curiosity, and long-term growth — in code and in careers.
