Hi, I’m Atharv Chandratre.

I'm a forward-thinking Software Engineer with a passion for solving challenging problems in collaborative environments.

My experience at Amazon and Goldman Sachs has honed my skills in creating scalable, robust software solutions, with a special focus on combining cloud and AI technologies with full-stack development.

I am driven by the challenge of innovating in the tech landscape, and I am always eager to apply my expertise to new, groundbreaking projects.

About me

I am open to new opportunities for full-time positions as a software developer. Feel free to contact me if you have any!

I'm specialized in full-stack development, cloud computing, and AI technologies. I'm proficient in Python, Java, JavaScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, AI technologies and Kafka. I'm eager to apply these skills in a dynamic software engineering role.

My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a problem. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am also a tinkerer at heart. I try to create enjoyable solutions that automate life's boring parts.

In my free time, I play badminton, do origami and make latte art.
