Senior🎓
Top SchoolKartavya Sharma is a Berkeley EECS student and entrepreneurial software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building full-stack web applications and cloud-native systems. Currently a co-founder at Burt (YC W26) after contributing as an engineer at Replo, he blends product-focused engineering with early-stage startup grit. His background spans backend infrastructure, microservices on AWS Lambda, and performance-focused frontend work that cut page load times by 70% in past roles. He’s shipped features across Django/Postgres backends, Typescript serverless APIs, and developer tooling to streamline onboarding and deployments. Beyond product work, he’s taught and mentored peers at Berkeley and in CS education programs, and built a consumer-facing voice assistant prior to college—evidence of a long-running maker mindset. Based in Berkeley, he pairs rapid prototyping instincts with scalable system design and a clear focus on developer experience.
