Hey, I'm

PARNIKA S M

Software Engineer · Full-Stack & Backend Developer · AI Explorer

Computer Science student exploring software engineering, full-stack, backend and AI development — one project and one problem at a time.

A little about me.

I'm a final-year Computer Science Engineering student at Jyothy Institute of Technology, Bengaluru, currently holding a 9.32 CGPA. Most of what I know, I've learned by building — rental platforms, gesture-controlled dashboards, recipe recommenders — and then figuring out why they broke.

I care about software engineering that's practical: systems that hold up, backends that make sense, and interfaces people actually enjoy using. Lately I've been spending more time with AI-powered applications and cloud tooling, and I like that there's always another layer to learn.

Beyond the terminal.

When I'm not debugging something, you'll probably find me collecting tiny pieces of history, journaling, playing badminton, or framing everyday moments through photography.
