Hi, I’m Shiva Acharya — an AI Developer, Software Engineer, and Career Coach passionate about helping aspiring technologists launch and grow their careers. I hold an M.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering. Professionally, I’ve built scalable backend systems and web applications at Flexport, developed diagnostic software at BYD, contributed to data automation and development of testing tools at Virgin Galactic, and mentored 500+ students as a Tech Fellow at CodePath. I specialize in AI development, backend systems, and software testing, and offer coaching in career goal setting, resume review, and interview preparation. Coming from an underrepresented background, I understand the challenges students face and am committed to helping them break into tech with clarity and confidence.
