About
Hello! I'm Nikita Sukharevich, a first-generation college student in my family and a third-year student with junior standing in Computer Science at Virginia Tech. With a 3.56 overall GPA and a 3.63 in major GPA and multiple Dean's List recognitions, I blend academic achievement with hands-on engineering experience. I'm passionate about building practical solutions, including a thriving Discord community of 800+ members powered by custom web scraping bots. My technical expertise spans front-end and back-end development, working with React, Tailwind CSS, C, and Python to create efficient and impactful applications.
I'm currently seeking summer 2026 opportunities and am always eager to connect with developers, industry professionals, and tech enthusiasts. Whether it's exchanging ideas, discussing emerging technologies, or collaborating on meaningful projects, I'm excited to contribute and grow.
