Arnav Deepaware
CS Major at CUNY City College | Software Engineer | Technology Enthusiast
About Me
I am Arnav, a Computer Science major at CUNY City College with a strong focus on building reliable and scalable software systems. I enjoy working across the stack, designing backend services, data pipelines, and user facing applications, with an emphasis on clarity, performance, and maintainability.
My interests lie at the intersection of systems, applied artificial intelligence, and real time software. I enjoy reasoning about trade offs, latency, and usability while transforming ambiguous problems into well structured solutions. I place a strong emphasis on writing clean code, understanding how systems behave in production, and building tools that are intuitive and effective for real users.
Alongside engineering, I value continuous learning and mentorship. I consistently seek opportunities to deepen my technical fundamentals, explore new technologies, and support others through teaching and collaboration. I am motivated by curiosity, ownership, and the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to teams building thoughtful and high impact technology.
