Hi, I'm Vanshika Kumar — Resourceful and driven Computer Science graduate with hands-on experience in software engineering, automation, and blockchain-based solutions.

About Me

I'm a Computer Science graduate with a strong foundation in Java, Python, problem-solving, and backend development. I specialize in creating scalable frameworks and automating complex workflows to boost efficiency and performance. At DRDO, I contributed to high-speed socket-based network systems for RADAR units, optimizing data transmission in mission-critical environments. I've led initiatives around IAM, CI/CD, and security automation to improve infrastructure scalability.

A multiple-time hackathon winner, I've built impactful projects like SafeEscape—funded by IIITA—and a gamified civic education tool that earned accolades at HACKWITHMAIT 4.0. Whether I'm coding, debugging, or designing new systems, I'm driven by curiosity, precision, and a deep desire to create tech that matters.
