Hello! My name is Shiva! Welcome to my home page!

I have a passion for many things, but most of all, I love making things that help people, while spending the rest of my time volunteering and doing whatever I can to help others learn how to find and embrace their own passions.

I am currently a Staff Software Engineer at Google, during which time I have been working on bringing the best of Fitbit experiences to Google products. Prior to joining Google, I worked at Fitbit for almost 5 years as a firmware developer on all Fitbit smartwatches since the Fitbit Ionic. I also served as lead firmware developer on the Fitbit Sense, Versa 3, and Versa Lite Edition. My primary expertise lies in sensors, algorithms, real-time operating systems, and systems-level engineering. I like working at the lowest levels of code on embedded devices.

I'm a graduate of Cornell University's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where I got my Bachelor of Science and Master of Engineering degrees. My specialties are firmware and embedded development, computer networks, computer architecture, computer security, and biological applications of electrical and computer engineering.

Computers have been my passion since I was six years old, and I have spent most of my life learning more about all facets of computer hardware and software.
