Backend-focused software engineer excelling in designing and optimizing scalable systems and APIs
Welcome to my corner of the Internet!
About Me
I am a software developer with expertise in Python, Django, Docker, postgreSQL and AWS/GCP. I’ve always sought out opportunities and challenges that are meaningful to me. I owe my career to FOSS community. Working on all these projects has helped me grow tremendously as a developer. I care about building impactful, accessible and inclusive tech for everyone. I care deeply about diversity and inclusion.💜
As a developer, I enjoy using my obsessive attention to detail, my unequivocal love for making things, and my mission-driven work ethic in my day to day to make it impactful. When I’m not working, I love curling up with a good book, capturing beautiful moments with my camera. Recently, I’ve been trying my hand at urban sketching.
I am currently a graduate student at Northeastern University, Boston, MA pursuing MS Information Systems.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:- Django
- Python
- Terraform
- AWS/GCP
- Containerisation
- PostgreSQL
- Github Actions
Experience
- Managed and developed the entire project with 200K+ user(Aug 2023) for a questing platform from ideation to production, enhancing project management efficiency and technical excellence, resulting in a 15% faster go-to-market time.
- Designed and implemented on-chain data aggregation and efficient backend system using Django, attracting 10K+ new users in 24 hrs, demonstrating strong system design and optimization skills.
- Led the development of a gamified Django platform, which boosted user engagement by 30% through strategic NFT integration.
- Developed and maintained a scalable and secure backend system using Django, resulting in a 20% increase in user retention.
- Contributed significantly to a B2B wallet profiling product development, leveraging EVM chain technology, RestfulAPIs, PostgreSQL, and Docker to segment on-chain wallet addresses effectively and enhance target funnel strategies.
- Technology stack : Python, Django, AWS, Github Actions, Docker, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD), PostgreSQL, RestfulAPIs, EVM chain technology, Twitter API, IPFS, NFT
- Focused on enhancing and optimizing the company’s backend infrastructure, collaborating with the backend team to introduce survey form management using Ruby on Rails. This helped streamline the survey process and improve data management.
- Technology stack : Ruby on Rails, Docker, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)
- Created the new official website for HydroSense Lab, IIT Delhi, using the Hugo framework, resulting in a modern and user-friendly platform for visitors (https://hydrosense.iitd.ac.in/).
- Participated in a multi-institutional faculty interdisciplinary research project (MFIRP) in crowdsourcing with University College London (UCL), focused on “Making local knowledge matter for landslides and flooding preparedness.” As part of this project, I developed a Telegram bot (https://t.me/Indra_ReporterBot) that enabled citizens to record natural/climatic activities around them and submit them to INDRA (https://indra.iitd.ac.in/), helping to improve preparedness for these events.
- Single-handedly developed a Telegram bot that allows citizens to report and document natural/climatic activities in their area, improving data collection for INDRA.
- Technology Stack: Hugo, JavaScript, Pandas, NumPy, Python, Geospatial data analysis(NETCDF, Shapefiles, GeoJSON), Telegram Bot API, Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Developed a tool to deploy Trafficgen, Loadgen, and other supporting tools on Openstack and Kubernetes environments in a variety of topologies. This tool has significantly improved the efficiency and flexibility of testing and performance evaluation for network functions virtualization (NFV) in OpenStack.
- Utilized my expertise in OpenStack and Kubernetes to create a tool that simplifies the process of deploying and configuring various testing and performance evaluation tools in diverse network architectures.
- Technology stack : OpenStack, Helm Charts, Python, Kubernetes
- Contributed to the development of the nmstate project by adding support for wireguard(nmstate.github.io)
- Allowed users to easily configure and manage wireguard connections for added security and privacy
- Worked closely with other developers to ensure smooth integration of wireguard into the platform
- Tested and verified the functionality of wireguard. Helped to advance the capabilities of nmstate and make it a more useful tool for network configuration and management
- Technology stack : Python3, Pytest, Networking, Linux
