Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnshita Baid is a Software Engineer 2 at PayPal with eight years of engineering experience and an MS in Computer Science from Arizona State University. She combines firmware ownership with web and backend development, having built React/Django tooling and owned multiple firmware modules at Western Digital where her tests caught critical alpha-stage bugs. At PayPal she automated business rule management via a Java/GitHub API utility deployed on Jenkins, cutting manual review effort by 70%. Her open-source contributions include backend work on a math problem generator, where she refactored arithmetic progression logic and improved code quality. She has a proven knack for turning manual workflows into automated systems—evident from an NLP-driven test-script generator that reduced scripting effort by 80%—and mentors peers to accelerate team onboarding. Based in San Jose, she blends deep firmware understanding with full-stack automation fluency, making her effective across device-level and cloud-hosted systems.
