Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVinayak Sharma is a software engineer and MASc researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo with six years of experience building web applications, developer tooling, and static analysis systems. He has shipped production front-ends and APIs using TypeScript, React/Next.js, Node.js and Tailwind, contributed substantial open-source work to Bitcoin education (SavingSatoshi) and Layer5, and mentored projects for the Python Software Foundation via GSoC.
