Hey, I'm Anish Ummenthala.
I'm a software engineer who enjoys building secure and scalable systems.
Currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at California State University, Fullerton. I've had the opportunity to work across the stack from building robust, scalable Java backend systems at Amazon to developing full-featured web interfaces using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind at various startups and with the CSUF IT team.
I have a deep interest in cloud architecture, especially within the AWS ecosystem, and I regularly write about it on Medium, where I share hands-on guides, best practices, and lessons learned from real-world projects
Outside of work and school, I love diving into side projects, ranging from blockchain apps to full-stack tools, which you can find on my GitHub. When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing badminton, learning something new in tech, or writing blogs.
