Instructional Student Assistant @ San José State University

About

Software engineer with 2+ years of experience building Java/Spring Boot, Nodejs backend systems and React frontends at scale. At UST, I worked on healthcare billing systems processing 500K+ daily transactions - learned how to write code that can't afford to break. Now pursuing my MS in Software Engineering at SJSU (3.9 GPA, Dec 2026). I'm a TA for two courses, mentoring 90+ students on software engineering practices. I also build accessibility automation tools using AWS and Adobe APIs as a Cloud Developer Student Assistant. I like working on distributed systems, backend architecture, and cloud infrastructure. I care about writing clean code and building things that work reliably. Looking for Summer 2026 internships in backend, full-stack, or cloud engineering. jahnavi.kedia@sjsu.edu | Open to relocation
