Hi, I’m Shaiv Kamat, a Vancouver-based full-stack engineer with a BSc in Computer Science from the University of British Columbia. I design and ship cloud-first software using AWS, port legacy SharePoint functionality to AWS, and build end-to-end data and frontend/backend solutions with ReactJS and React Native. Beyond my day job, I’m a freelance developer who has set up SOC2-compliant stacks with Okta for user management, automated backups, DNS, and identity verification for processes, and I enjoy working on personal hardware/software projects and small automation tasks. I’ve built a 25kg drone and a computer-vision model for basic calf egg counting as examples of my curiosity and drive.
