Hi, my name is

Gaurav Suvarna.

I build things for the web.

Full Stack Developer with 3+ years of experience building production-grade web applications. Currently pursuing an M.S. in Computer Science at Clemson University and seeking full-stack or software engineering roles.

01.About Me

I'm a Full Stack Developer with 3+ years of industry experience, currently pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science at Clemson University (GPA 3.85). My work spans the full stack - from crafting fast, accessible React interfaces to designing cloud infrastructure on AWS.

At Clemson, I'm the lead developer on Prepitus, an AI-powered SAT tutoring platform built with a graduate research team. The platform uses a custom Deep Knowledge Tracing (LSTM) model to personalize learning for 450+ students across 30 knowledge components.

Before that, I spent two years at Wipro Ltd, delivering 12+ insurance products for Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance (ABSLI) on a MERN-stack platform — integrating 30+ third-party systems and reducing execution time by 35–40%.

I'm actively looking for full-stack and software engineering roles, and I'm open to remote, hybrid, or relocation.
