# Atharva Kukade > Software Developer | Tech Visionary | Python | Developed Java mobile applications used by 3k+ users Location: Santa Clara, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/atharvakukade I'm on a journey of turning code into captivating solutions. With a Master's in Computer Science from Santa Clara University and a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering from Savitribai Phule Pune University, I'm a versatile and dynamic software developer with a passion for creating impact. Currently, I'm crafting engaging educational games as a Research Assistant Software Developer at SCU's Frugal Innovation Hub. Picture this: an intuitive user interface, the Flame Game Engine, and Dart - all designed to educate children about waste management. Innovation meets education! During my tenure as a Software Quality Assurance Developer at Onsemi, San Jose, I unleashed my Python prowess to enhance audio codecs. Not only did I optimize performance but I also developed a robust testing tool that took quality to new heights. Oh, and did I mention I'm a co-founder of Tiffeasts Services? We've crafted successful mobile apps using a concoction of Android Studio, Firebase, React and Flutter. My repertoire also features projects like Electronic Hospital-Patient Record, Home Personalization with NFC and even COVID-19 detection from chest X-rays. I'm not just about tech – I've published papers and joined conferences on NFC-based Smart Insulin Pumps and Cloud-Based Health Monitoring. Java, Python, JavaScript, Node.js - you name it, I'm fluent. Databases? MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase and AWS. And don't get me started on tools: Android Studio, Telerik, JUnit and a lot more are my trusty companions. Game development, machine learning, virtual reality – I'm all ears! Challenges fuel my fire, learning is my vibe, and collaboration is my oxygen. I'm not just coding; I'm crafting solutions that shape the future. ## Work Experience ### Software Developer @ SCU Frugal Innovation Hub Jan 2023 – Present | Santa Clara, California, United States Key Achievements -------------------- ● Designed and developed an educational game aimed at educating children on waste management, utilizing the Flame Game Engine as the development platform. ● Constructed an intuitive and visually appealing user interface utilizing Dart and incorporating advanced object-oriented programming techniques.
