Profile: https://flows.cv/nihal

I am a Software Engineer. After graduating from UC Davis, I was at Macy's Technology for over a year. In this time, I developed features for the e-commerce portion of the Macy's website and worked on upgrades of internal components, as part of various projects and different teams. My most notable achievement was developing an internal component from scratch for use on the live website. I then worked as a Founding engineer for Accountstory, where we use data and sales intelligence to simplify the sales process for B2B products. Most recently, I worked at Grokker, where we focused on employee wellness and building software for companies to enhance the wellness of their employees.

In my free time, I used to volunteer as an Instructor for CodeNation at a charter school in Oakland. Here, I taught kids basic web development skills in HTML, CSS, and Javascript and I helped develop the lesson plans that we used to do so. Now, I am an avid dancer who also likes to spend some time vounteering in community gardens.

If you feel that I can contribute to your organization, or if you’d like to connect, talk, etc., please feel free to reach me either through LinkedIn or directly through email: nihalmanjunath@gmail.com.
