About Simran Vaishya

I recently graduated with a Master\'s in Computer Science from the University of Southern California in December 2024. My journey into software development started with a genuine curiosity for how things work under the hood. Over time, it became a passion for building tools that not only function well but make life easier for users. I enjoy the process of taking an idea and turning it into something tangible and helpful through code.During my internship at WorkUp, I worked as an Android developer using Kotlin to improve the app experience. I fixed user interface bugs, optimized API communication using Retrofit within an MVVM architecture, and integrated Stripe for smooth payments. I also used coroutines to handle asynchronous operations and Dagger Hilt for clean dependency management, which made the app more scalable and testable.Before that, at Sisai Technologies, I worked with Python and Flask to build an anomaly detection system for sensor data. I developed machine learning models using Isolation Forest, handled large-scale data from MongoDB, and built real-time dashboards using D3.js to visualize sensor behavior and anomalies.Outside of internships, I have built full stack applications using React, Node.js, Spring Boot, and databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis. I also explored the use of large language models by integrating the Gemini API into a chatbot platform that generates React apps from user prompts. These projects have helped me deepen my understanding of system design, user experience, and working with emerging AI tools.Beyond tech, I love swimming to unwind and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I am always excited to keep learning, build better systems, and contribute to meaningful software.
