Hi, my name is

Ujwal Suwal.

I build things for the web.

I'm a computer science student at Stanford University passionate about building exceptional digital experiences. Currently focused on full-stack development, distributed systems, and machine learning.

01.About Me

Hello! I'm Alex, a computer science student who loves building software that makes a difference. My interest in programming started when I built my first website at 14—a terrible Minecraft server forum that taught me more about web development than any course could.

Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at a Y Combinator startup, a major tech company, and a research lab. My main focus these days is building accessible, human-centered products while pursuing my degree.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me rock climbing, playing chess, or contributing to open source projects.

Here are some technologies I've been working with recently:

  • ▹TypeScript
  • ▹React
  • ▹Next.js
  • ▹Node.js
  • ▹Python
  • ▹Go
  • ▹PostgreSQL
  • ▹Redis
  • ▹Docker
  • ▹AWS
  • ▹Rust
  • ▹C++
