👋 Hi there! I'm

Sanjana Natraj.

I'm a software engineer with a love for front end web development. I love building open-source projects and working with front end technologies/frameworks such as React, JavaScript, and more! Currently, I work as a full stack engineer @ Fidelity Investments.

cloud and a moon About

Hello! My name is Sanjana, and I 💗 building beautiful websites, interfaces, and apps. I particularly love all things web development and front-facing software. Based in the Bay Area, my interest in coding started when I was in high school, as I was surrounded by all sorts of people in tech. I particularly liked creating and designing websites with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

While my main interests lie in front end development, I also have a bit of experience in backend technology, such as utilizing Flask and MySQL to build my own RESTful API. Some of my favorite courses in college were about databases, machine learning, NLP, and data visualization.

If you're interested in reaching out about anything, please do so by sending me an email or by using the contact form below. I'm also available on LinkedIn.

Here are a couple of technologies I've been using:

  • React
  • ES6 JavaScript
  • GraphQL
  • Node.js
  • Flask
  • Python
