Hi, I'mUtsav Poddar
Code, creativity, and a passion for innovation.
About Me
I'm a software engineer with a passion for exploring technology and building things that solve real problems. My work spans backend systems, databases, and frontend interfaces, giving me a full-stack perspective.
What drives me most is curiosity — whether it's experimenting with new tools, diving into research, or fine-tuning a system until it feels just right. I enjoy projects that balance technical depth with practical impact.
Beyond code, I value collaboration, continuous learning, and creating work that leaves a mark. For me, engineering isn't just about writing programs — it's about shaping ideas into experiences that matter.
