Hello!
I'm Utsav Shrestha, a design-minded software engineer focused on building beautiful and user-oriented interfaces & experiences

I'm currently a Software Engineer at Goldman Sachs where I design, develop, and maintain software systems and applications that are critical to the firm's financial operations. I worked on projects related to both client-onboarding platforms and client-facing applications, all adhering to industry best practices and regulatory requirements to uphold the highest standards of quality and integrity in the financial sector.
Previously, I worked as a Web Developer and Research Assistant at RFID and Auto-ID Deployment Lab - UTA doing research projects with some awesome people and updating the website for the RFID Labs. I graduated from University of Texas at Arlington with a Software Engineering Degree in the Fall of 2021.
As a software engineer, I enjoy bridging the gap between engineering and design — combining my technical knowledge with my keen eye for design to create a beautiful product. My goal is to always build applications that are scalable and efficient under the hood while providing engaging, pixel-perfect user experiences.
When I'm not in front of a computer screen, I'm either taking pictures of sunsets with my 35mm film camera and developing them at home in my makeshift darkroom, or reading books by Philip K. Dick.

An online version of my 2020 resume I made for fun. I was interested in learning React.js, so I found this simple tutorial and it kind of spun into this weekend project. It was a fun way to learn React. Plus, I finally used the Headshot picture I had taken the year before.

A simple water intake counter app I made at with JavaScript(ES6), HTML/CSS, and Netlify. I love drinking water and I created this application as a reminder for me to keep track of water intake.
My first portfolio website I designed and built in 2019. I learned quite a bit about HTML, CSS, Sass and JavaScript(ES6). Since then, I think my web development and design skills have improved immensely.
