Hi I'm Nikhil Sharma

Software Engineer

My name is Nikhil Sharma, and I'm a junior studying electrical engineering and computer science at UC Berkeley. Over the last two years, I've taken classes in the fields of cybersecurity, efficient algorithms, and data science. My current interests are network/application security, robotics, and full-stack development. I'm currently seeking a Summer 2020 internship in software engineering.

My Skills

Full Stack Development

I've been doing full stack development during my software engineering internship over the past 3 years. The most recent task involved using Ruby on Rails to develop a web service to map different government security benchmarks.
