Hey there! 😊 I’m so happy you’ve dropped by. Your visit here tells me you’re keen to get to know me better, and that truly warms my heart. 🙌 I can’t wait to share my world with you. So, shall we dive in?
I’m all about learning, and I love to find new stuff where I can level up my skills. At the moment, I’m really learning photography 📷 and working on my communication skills with my very own podcast, Be Curious with Shrishty🎙️.
Developing With a Passion While Exploring The World.
I am a Software Engineer at Google. I am passionate about building software, solving customer problems, and making their lives easier. Software engineering is very close to my heart, whenever I build something new, I get a deep sense of satisfaction that is unexplainable.
My expertise is around the cloud, specifically GCP, and AWS. I am lucky to work in 2 big tech companies Amazon and Google where I got exposure to building large-scale systems. I am also lucky to work in a startup (Deserve) where I learned the skill of building scalable systems from scratch.
But that’s not all of me I also have a podcast named Be Curious with Shrishty, where I talk to leaders and find out what has helped them reach that level in their careers.

✔ Readwise: I like to organize the content everywhere around the internet, so I use @Readwise and @Readwise Reader. I love the feature of adding tags to the highlights. You can subscribe to my highlights here.
✔ Figma: I love Figma, especially with keyboard shortcuts. I am not an expert in UX design etc but I use Figma to draw diagrams for systems.
✔ Postman: If you work with APIs you must checkout postman. Here is an article I wrote about postman sometime back. Its features are so developer friendly
✔ Notion: Notion for me is like my brain dump. I save everything I want to remember in notion. The best part about notion is that it supports markdown which makes my typing experience way better than any other note-taking app.
✔ Day One: I am also a huge fan of the Day One app. It helps me keep track of my daily highs and lows and it’s a way to free up my mind from millions of thoughts that are running in my head.
