💻 Hi, I’m Ritik Kale, a recent Master’s in Computer Science graduate (May 2025, Pace University) with a concentration in Software Engineering.

Over the past few years, I’ve built a strong foundation in full-stack development, scalable backend systems, and modern frontend design through both academic and professional experiences:

At SPEAKHIRE, I contributed as a Full-Stack Software Engineer Intern and later Associate, delivering features such as admin dashboards, data-driven forms, intern onboarding flows, and attendance systems. I worked across the stack with React, TypeScript, Node.js/Express, and PostgreSQL, while also gaining hands-on exposure to DevOps, version control, and scalable architectures.

Earlier, I began my career at Capgemini as a Software Engineer, where I helped build responsive web applications for global enterprise clients. I also earned 2nd place out of 50 employees in an enterprise-level React Native hackathon, solidifying my skills in both web and mobile UI development.

⚡ My primary tech stack: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL, and Java/Spring Boot (microservices). I also bring experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and cloud-based deployments.

I’m excited to continue my journey as a Full-Stack Software Engineer, where I can apply my development expertise, contribute to impactful projects, and grow through collaboration with experienced teams.
