Biography

Hi I'm Nikhil Pujari
I am a dedicated computer engineering student currently pursuing a Master's in Information Systems at New York University(NYU) - Courant Institute in New York City.
Work Experience
As I'm currently in the second year of my Master's degree, I have bagged an internship at the esteemed company Amtrak in Washington D.C. As an eCommerce Developer Intern, I have been actively contributing to the front-end development for Amtrak.com and its mobile app since June 2024. Utilizing technologies like Angular, Adobe Experience Manager, Ionic Framework, and Bitbucket, I have helped enhance user experiences significantly. My role also involves full-stack web and mobile application projects using HTML, CSS, SWIFT, and Java/Kotlin.
My journey in technology began with my first full-time role at L&T Infotech, now LTIMindtree, where I served as a software developer for nearly two years. I was responsible for designing and developing a website using Servlet and JSP technology, managing SQL databases, and handling deployments for a web application used by clients for insurance purchases. Initially, I also created automation scripts with Selenium as a software tester for the same project. This experience laid a strong foundation in both development and testing before I relocated to the USA to pursue my Master's degree.
Throughout my undergraduate years, I actively sought out and completed approximately 10 internships within my field during summer and winter breaks. These experiences exposed me to a diverse range of technologies, including Android, Web Development, .NET, React Native. Each internship provided invaluable opportunities for learning and growth. I consider the individuals I worked with during these internships as my mentors, as they not only imparted technical knowledge but also valuable life lessons.
With this wealth of knowledge and a firm belief in continuous self-improvement, I am eager to embrace new challenges that align with my skill set. I am committed to delivering exceptional results and contributing to the success of any project or opportunity that comes my way
