Who am I?


Hello, my name is Vir Thakor and I’m a developer currently creating web and data focused products. I recently graduated from UCLA where I majored in Computer Science.

I'm passionate about working on cutting edge technologies that improve users’ lives. In particular, I have experience developing web applications on a variety of technology stacks. Most recently I’ve been working on and learning Amazon Web Services, Machine Learning, the Django framework, and React.js.

I'm looking for opportunities in fast-paced, collaborative work environments where teams work together to create quality products for customers.

Check out my resume below!

When I can, I'm also working on finishing my bucket list, but let me know if you have recommendations for things I should add.
