Tarun Ajjrapu

Programmer, Entrepreneur, CS Student @ UT Austin and a minor in Business with skills in Web Development, Cloud, and more. I solve problems in my local community and beyond utilizing my knowledge of technology.

As a computer scientist I've spent time exploring everything from cloud computing to multithreading. I also love to tinker, modify, and build whatever I program. I have a knack for being able to quickly understand a complex problem from the ground up and can easily become engrossed in an interesting project. I am especially interested in Web Applications, API Development, and Fintech. I push myself to learn more and more everyday.

Skills

Interests

Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I enjoy tennis, climbing, running and skiing.

One of my favorite activities is developing games. From a young age, I developed an interest for coding in order to develop my own online game. From there my passion for coding only grew over time and led me to pursue a degree in computer science and a career in software engineering.

When forced away from my laptop, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements and news in robotics, programming, and trading.
