Hi, I'm Shivani. I'm a backend developer and a vagabond on the internet—always wandering, always building.
I created a full-length video tutorial on “Intro to Backend Web Development” which got uploaded on the world’s largest coding YouTube channel, freeCodeCamp!
I've led workshops on backend dev & deployment within the Hack Club's Athena Initiative.
I love, some anime, studio ghibli films, old
literature, music loud enough to feel, food, mornings that find me awake, and
basketball games at dusk.
I'm drawn to oratory and rhetoric with rhythm and fire.
robots fascinate me.
In the end, it's all just warm sunlight.
Airly
A full-stack social media platform built with React, Node.js, and MongoDB.
Building Airly taught me how to design scalable APIs, implement real-time social features, and balance user experience with backend performance. My main focus in this project was to build a smooth and fast backend.

Secure Edge Device Manager
This project was made during a Hackathon on their problem statement!
A lightweight web platform to remotely monitor and manage simulated edge devices (like Raspberry Pis, Linux Alpine VM) over SSH.
Track real-time system metrics through WebSocket-to-SSH bridge, online/offline health, network speeds, error logs, and enable live SSH sessions — all in one secure dashboard.
beasty
A custom HTTP server written from scratch using raw TCP sockets.
building beasty taught me low-level networking, rate-limiting at multiple levels, gzip compression, and the art of connecting multiple backends. Some projects really wake you up in the morning to work on them all day!
ku-lang
A one-dimensional esoteric programming language.
building ku-lang taught me the process of designing syntax, implementing a parser, and creating an interpreter. It's one thing to use a language, but quite another to understand how it thinks.
