Hi! I am Arnav, a software engineer at Zendesk grad student at Carnegie Mellon University.
Legend has it, that sometime in 2014, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore conferred onto me, a degree in Computer Science. The same legend goes on to say, that after having pulled that con, not being satisfied with just one degree, I tricked Carnegie Mellon University into letting me enroll in a graduate program in the Language Technologies Institute.
Between those two programs, I worked at Zendesk for three years on the team behind Zendesk Chat (backend and platform). During my undergrad days, I interned at IBM Singapore Software Labs, where I worked on some fun mobile things.
If any of the following words or phrases mean anything to you, we are probably going to be good friends:
- Manchester United
- Don't Look Back In Anger
- Hello Internet
- Bionic / Bonanza
- You Look Nice Today
- Geronimo
- Dunder Mifflin
In a past life, I played rugby, built an iOS game for kids with special needs, worked on some fun open-source projects and collected keychains and empty pen refills.
If you're interested in hiring an intern for the summer of 2018, or a former senior software engineer in 2019, feel free to peruse my resume or contact me on arnav at arnavkumar dot com. If you want to see my past work, my GitHub profile might be of interest to you. If you're interested in some funny tweets, follow me on Twitter. If you'd like to add me to your professional network (!!), head on over to LinkedIn.
Thanks for dropping by.
