I am Richa Kumari, a Generative AI and Backend Developer passionate about building scalable systems and intelligent solutions.
I graduated from IIT Roorkee (B.Tech, 2023) and since then, I’ve worked across Generative AI, Data Engineering, and Cloud-Native Backend Development, contributing to impactful projects in FinTech, AI, and product engineering.

⚡ Beyond my academic and work life, I love exploring new cultures, good food, and music that keeps me moving. I believe technology should not only scale but also make life more meaningful.
