Current career objective
I am an aspiring full stack developer and a software developer, passionate about web technologies, big data and open source software.
Journey so far...
As a kid my first awe inspiring moment with technology was when it enabled millions of people book train tickets at the click of a button instead of the hours of waiting in lines at ticket counters. The next moment came when I saw my grandfather, a farmer in my native village using computerized land records and checking market prices for their farm produce in the Community Computer Centre. I was truly convinced of the power of Computer Science and Technology reaching common man, empowering people with new tools and changing the lives of millions of Indians. I had found my calling and decided to pursue a career in Computer Science.
I actively sought internships throughout my undergraduate program to further my knowledge and gain practical experience. In the summer of 2017 I interned at TechMojo Solutions, and got good hands-on experience with NodeJS for server side programming and Redis to make web pages load faster by avoiding unnecessary database hits. With the knowledge gained, I have become an active contributor to open source projects online. I am inspired by the positive contribution that open source software stack makes, by driving efficiencies to SDLC, reducing time to market, cutting down TCO and thus drive down overall cost of online products. I too contributed by creating a backend for blogging platforms using NodeJS and MongoDB which is available to the open source community by simply following the documentation provided on my GitHub. And I intend to remain an active contributor to the open source stack for life.
In my final semester of undergrad, I interned with DeltaX (an AdTech company that was chosen for the 10th Edition of Blackbox Connect Winter 2015 programme at Silicon Valley), where I developed multiple cross-browser extensions that help the company clients in managing their advertisements on Google, Facebook, Bing and many more platforms. After successfully completing the internship, DeltaX offered me a full-time employment for the role of a full-stack developer. I am very grateful to the engineering team at DeltaX as I was given the opportunity to learn and build modern full-stack applications.
I am currently pursuing my masters degree in Computer Science at Rochester Institute of Technology in NY state.
