Hi, I'm Shuveksha Tuladhar, a full-stack software engineer based in Las Vegas, NV. I build user-friendly web applications using React, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL.

I currently work as an Associate Full-Stack Software Developer at Code the Dream on Vamos, a platform helping nonprofits coordinate farmworker outreach. I was also a RubyConf 2026 Scholar and gave a lightning talk on using Ruby as the glue for AI.

Before transitioning into software engineering, I worked as a structural engineer, where I automated calculations and saved my team over 16 hours per week.

I'm passionate about solving problems through code, collaborating with others, and continuously learning.

Let's connect and build something meaningful!

Ruby as the Glue for AI — Planning Fun Activities for My Kids

  • July 2026
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • RubyConf Scholar

As a mom, I often spend more time searching for activities than actually doing them with my kids. While there are countless activity ideas available online, finding ones that match my children's ages, interests, available supplies, and our limited free time can be overwhelming.

In this lightning talk, I share how I built a small Rails application that uses an LLM to generate personalized activity ideas based on my children's ages, interests, available supplies, and time constraints. While the AI generates creative suggestions, Ruby and Rails provide the structure by storing preferences, tracking activity history, and delivering relevant recommendations. This project demonstrates how Ruby can act as the glue that connects AI capabilities with real-world workflows, turning a language model into a practical tool that helps families spend less time planning and more time creating memories together.
