Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShiva Prasad is a doctoral candidate and open-source software developer with a decade of experience blending physics, computer science, and hands-on programming to tackle social, technological, and environmental problems. Based in Milan and currently pursuing a PhD at Politecnico di Milano, he pairs rigorous academic training (IIT Madras alumnus) with practical engineering as a long-term contributor to GUI-focused projects like pywebview, where he improved cross-platform UI behaviors including macOS alerts, file inputs, and background styling. Intrinsically old-school in his tooling and approach, Shiva enjoys creative product-building and shipping usable interfaces that bridge research and real-world adoption. His profile reflects a researcher-developer hybrid who deliberately codes at the UI layer to make complex systems more accessible.
