Sherwin Vishesh Jathanna, Full Stack + AI/ML Developer

Full Stack + AI/ML Developer who builds intelligent, production-ready software end to end — from scalable web platforms and cloud-native microservices to LLM-powered features, RAG pipelines, and applied machine learning. A builder and entrepreneur at heart, I founded a fintech platform that scaled to 150,000+ users within 24 hours of launch and exited through acquisition. I am also a serial hackathon winner who single-handedly won CalHacks, the largest collegiate hackathon in the world, with a string of other wins and awards along the way. I care about clean architecture, measurable impact, and shipping things people actually use.
