Hello I'm
Avinash Rao
Developer & Designer
About Me
I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building secure, scalable, and user-focused web applications for enterprise, government, and mission-driven organizations. My background encompasses modern frontend frameworks and robust backend systems, with hands-on experience in React, Angular, TypeScript, C#, .NET, Node.js, and cloud platforms such as AWS.
I’ve led and contributed to high-impact projects across the full software development lifecycle — from architecting CMS-driven platforms with Sitecore and Drupal, to delivering Progressive Web Apps and accessibility-compliant federal websites. I’m especially known for leading frontend refactoring efforts, implementing accessibility (Section 508) standards, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions.
In parallel with development, I bring a strong information security mindset to my work. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, with a focus on secure system design, cloud security, and compliance. I’ve supported secure environments in federal contexts and regularly advise stakeholders on data protection, encryption, and cybersecurity best practices.
Outside of coding, I’m passionate about continuous learning, staying current with evolving technologies, and contributing to projects that make a meaningful impact. Whether I’m building software, enhancing security posture, or mentoring others, I’m always eager to take on new challenges and connect with like-minded individuals in the tech industry.
