Divyanshu Sharma is a founding software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building backend-first web applications, currently at ShortLoop (YC W23) in Bengaluru. He specializes in Java/Kotlin (Spring) and JavaScript stacks (Node.js, Express, React, Apollo GraphQL, Sequelize), with a track record of shipping production services from internship to founding-engineer responsibilities. A strong academic performer (BTech CS, 8.98) who led student teams and mentored web developers at IEEE chapters, he combines architecture, project management, and deployment experience. Comfortable across the full stack, he prefers designing server-side systems and APIs that power responsive front-ends. Outside engineering, he’s an avid 20th-century history fan and strategy gamer, which informs his systematic, long-horizon approach to problem solving. At 20 years old on GitHub and rapidly learning in public, he blends startup grit with a learner’s mindset and proven delivery.
