Hi, I’m Aarju Sheladia

Computer Science Student @ Drexel University | Front-End & Full-Stack Developer

I build clean, user-focused web applications with modern code and thoughtful UI design. Currently pursuing my B.S. in Computer Science (Expected May 2028).

About Me

I am a Computer Science student at Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, with hands-on experience in full-stack web development, front-end interface design, and software engineering principles.

I bridge the gap between technical back-end functionality and user-friendly front-end design. Whether building social matching apps, redesigning AI chatbot interfaces, or applying Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Java, I focus on crafting software that is accessible, performant, and reliable.

Technical Stack & Skills

• Languages: Java, Python, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, SQL, C, C++, Unix/Linux
• Frameworks & Web: Node.js, MongoDB, REST APIs, WebSockets, WordPress
• Tools & Practices: Git/GitHub/GitLab, VS Code, PowerBI, Test-Driven Development (JUnit 5, PIT Mutation), Agile/Scrum, Object-Oriented Design, Data Structures & Algorithms
