About Me
👋 Nice to meet you!
I'm Vishal Sathambakkam, an aspiring software engineer. I have a passion for turning big ideas into elegant, high-impact software. As someone who was born and raised in the greater Seattle area, tech has always been a large part of my upbringing. I truly believe that it is a tool that can be leveraged to provide a positive impact in the world.
Currently, I'm fascinated by the realm of generative AI integration, especially within the context of full-stack development. Outside of coding, you can find me weightlifting, hiking or playing football 💯
Let's connect to explore potential collaborations, share insights, and contribute to the ever-evolving software engineering landscape!
