Yeah,
I'm the guy
she told you
about.
Hi, I'm Shivam Taneja - software engineer at KPMG, occasional menace on the internet. I ship SaaS, SDKs, and APIs that actually work. Also: allegedly, according to her, "kind of a whole vibe."

Credentials.
Allegedly.
Look, I don't make the rules. I just build things and occasionally get mentioned in group chats. Here's what you're working with:
- 01Ships production code. Sometimes on purpose.
- 023.5 years turning caffeine into cloud infrastructure.
- 03Associate Consultant @ KPMG. Formerly menace @ NTT Data.
- 04Built a chatbot trained on his own portfolio. 300+ people have talked to it. About him.
- 05Documents the whole thing on YouTube & Instagram as @codesbyshivam.
- 06Side effects may include: unsolicited product ideas at 2am, over-engineered spreadsheets, and mild emotional damage.
Questions she gets asked
Wait, is this a real person?
+
Painfully real. Shivam Taneja - software engineer, currently Associate Consultant at KPMG in Bangalore, formerly Associate SDE at NTT Data. Builds SaaS, SDKs, and APIs. Also this website, unfortunately.
Is he actually the guy she told me about?
+
Statistically? Probably. He ships code, documents it on YouTube and Instagram as @codesbyshivam, and built a chatbot trained on his own portfolio. The odds are not in your favor.
What does he actually do?
+
Production-grade software. Cloud + AI engineering. Real SaaS, real SDKs, real APIs. Side projects include Bhondu Life and a site-embedded chatbot with 300+ users. Full receipts at shivamtaneja.com.
Why does this website exist?
+
Because theguyshetoldyouabout.com was available and passing up that domain would have been a war crime. Also it's a funnier CV than a CV.
How do I hire him / stalk him professionally?
+
Portfolio: shivamtaneja.com. YouTube & Instagram: @codesbyshivam. LinkedIn is one Google search away. Please be normal.
ok fine, curious now?
Go look at
the actual site.
Projects, experience, a chatbot trained on my own portfolio because of course it is. It's a whole thing.
