Niharika's Headshot

About Me

Hi, my name is Niharika and I like coding and cats!

Graduated from the City College of New York with a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

Bangladeshi-American and New Yorker passionate about front-end development, responsive web design, and UX/UI design.

I had the privilege of interning as a software engineer, tech support, and web developer and have decided that web development, specifically front-end, is where my heart lies. I enjoy creating user interfaces and designs that captivate!

When I am not coding or creating graphics on my free time, I like to take nature walks and watch videos of animals. Pandas are my favorite!

I also enjoy reading and writing short stories.
