About Me

Hey! I'm Shikhar Gupta, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Computer Science at the University of California, Davis. Last summer, I was a Software Engineering Intern at Apple, working with the CAD-CSG team in the Silicon Engineering Group to optimize server discovery in Choria.

My favorite part of programming is creating apps and websites, like this one! I love the whole process of taking an idea from ideation to design to production. I also find competitive programming pretty fun. Finally, I love using AI models to solve interesting and complex problems.

Outside of programming, I love a good day outdoors. I often go out with friends and family. I also really like playing table tennis, and played for a few years. I'm down for a game at anytime of the day!

Experience

Apple SWE Intern

June 2024 - September 2024

I developed a MongoDB-based plugin in Golang, reducing server metadata search time from 30 to 1.5 seconds. This optimized storage move operations to decrease server disruption time by 18 hours monthly across 2,000+ moves. Additionally, I architected a REST API with Go ent for Choria integration, streamlining server interactions and reducing development time by 85%.

GalaxySDK SWE Intern

June 2023 - August 2023

I developed an inviting onboarding page, boosting user experience and increasing monthly signed-in users by 20%. Next, I built a robust Flask, OpenAI, and Firebase backend for a GPT-powered chat game from scratch. After, I worked on 8 tickets to optimize UI/UX, leading to an enhanced interface and resolution of customer concerns.

Salubrity SWE Intern

June 2022 - August 2022

I built a Flask backend using Python and Selenium to pull out scrape 70k+ datapoints, helping identify businesses that would benefit from Salubrity's services, and leading to an expansion from 1 to 10 cities. I also set up an internal tool using a NGINX server backend with a HTML/CSS/JS frontend to find potential business prospects for future growth.

Gardeneur SWE Intern

January 2022 - May 2022

I led a team of 3 in creating a ML plant detection app. I used Tensorflow to train a deep learning model to detect plants using 25 GB of raw image data, achieving 96% accuracy across 50 categories. I created a React Native mobile app and embedded this model to work in real time on smartphones.
