Hi — I’m Smeet. When something is slow, repetitive, or annoying, I code my way out of it.

I like working across the whole stack — a React interface, the API behind it, and the gnarly systems work underneath — because the interesting problems usually live in the seams between them. I care less about which layer a problem sits in and more about whether the thing I ship actually gets used.

Tech for social good is a continuing part of that work. I build with UW Blueprint and, outside the university chapter, I’m a member of the Blueprint Software Foundation — maintaining projects after handoff and helping turn nonprofit-specific builds into free products other organizations can reuse.

Outside of work I think in basketball and probabilities: what makes a player break out, why people make the decisions they do, and how a small, well-made tool can quietly change a daily habit. That’s the same curiosity I bring to engineering — measure it, model it, then build the version that’s genuinely better.
