Hello, I'm Dheeraj, a detail-oriented Software Engineer and graduate student at Santa Clara University, passionate about problem-solving and competitive programming.
About me
I’m a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming. Currently pursuing my master’s degree at Santa Clara University, I’ve taken courses in distributed systems, cloud computing, and object-oriented analysis, among others. This academic training, coupled with practical project experience, has equipped me to design robust, scalable systems and confidently address complex technical problems.
Outside my coursework, I’m an avid competitive programmer who has solved over 1,000 coding challenges. I also enjoy solving multiple Rubik’s Cube variants, from the 3X3 to the 6X6, which keeps me sharp and continually fuels my passion for problem-solving.
