Profile: https://flows.cv/ayushdesai

I’m a Software Engineering graduate student at Arizona State University who loves bringing ideas to life through code. From building full-stack social platforms and e-commerce systems to using Python and AWS to automate real-time data dashboards, I enjoy solving real-world problems with scalable, well-engineered solutions. 

You can check out some of my work at wwww.github.com/adesai1000

My journey in tech has taken me through internships in software engineering and project management, where I've built web apps with the MERN stack, designed Stripe integrations, deployed Dockerized services, and even co-authored research on using semantic web tech to improve missing persons tracking — presented at IEEE COMPSAC 2025.

Outside of class and code, you can usually find me working out, reading classic literature, or exploring new ideas for side projects or playing video games. I’m passionate about leveraging technology to improve lives, whether that’s through thoughtful product design, education, or social impact.

Always open to connecting with like-minded people — whether you're into web dev, AI, systems, or just want to talk about books and ideas. Let’s build something great together.
