Arshya Baweja
developer & creative thinker
You've landed on my little corner of the web. I'm Arshya.
I build, I analyze, I lead and yes, I obsess (just a little).
Let's make this scroll worth your while.
A Bit About Me👩🏻
I'm passionate about building technology that empowers, whether it's financial tools, web platforms that connect communities, or data systems that help people make smarter decisions. I lead because I thrive on collaboration, mentorship, and turning ambitious ideas into reality.
Currently, I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at York University, where I've combined coding and development with leadership in large student organizations and hackathons. I love taking complex problems and breaking them down into elegant, usable solutions, especially when they can make a positive impact on others.

My ideal weekend? Surrounded by curious minds, unexpected conversations, and the inevitable tote bags I somehow end up with. I attend the keynotes, linger for the side chats, and leave with a notebook full of half-baked ideas and genuine inspiration. ✨

✦✧When Off The Clock…✦✧
You'll probably find me mapping out my next adventure in obsessive detail, sampling every coffee spot I can get to (yes, all of them), or saying "just one more episode"… and somehow it's three episodes later. 🎬
Fueling ideas, one cup at a time ☕
