I’m a passionate engineer with a B.E. in C.S. & have an overall ~9 years of experience in mostly developing products for early-stage startups while building teams & resilient systems through individual contributions, leading teams & managing projects. These days, 🌱 I’m exploring more about AI/ML, Blockchain, AR/VR, gaming, animation, etc. to upskill & reskill myself.

Built consumer-facing PWA using Next.js (React) including SSR for SEO-friendly pages & React Native apps following atomic design & smart/dumb component patterns with friendly UI & great UX while delivering light build with great performance.

Developed excellent performing backend apps following contract-first (OpenAPI Swagger using DTO) bulletproof web services in the form of SDK providing cache-supported REST & GQL API and having high throughput (> 100 RPS) & low latency (< 500 us ART) consuming low CPU utilization (< 50%) by using OST like Node.js based Nest.js over Fastify, Golang services for CPU intensive tasks & Python for ML to provide AI-powered features. Published SLA for Public API of the system.

Ensured scalable & extensible codebase by practicing best design patterns by following standard design principles using OOP/FP with suitable DSA. Maintained high code quality through reviews & pull requests/commits check for build, format, lint, & test coverage (>80%). Kept code maintainable through standard formatting, code writing guidelines, DAL with ORM/ODM as DAO implementation, code documentation (dev comments), project documentation (Readme. md) & standard process management using containers (AWS ECS for Docker) & container orchestrator (AWS EKS for K8s).

Designed data sources with primary database in MySQL/PostgreSQL for RDBMS & OLTP, NoSQL DB like MongoDB, Cassandra, DynamoDb, Neo4j, etc. as secondary databases/misc. data storage & data warehousing in Redshift for OLAP.

Implemented cost-effective auto-scaling agnostic cloud solutions including cybersecurity and distributed system architecture using EC2, MSK, ElastiCache, RDS, ALB, CloudFront, CW, Shield, CodeDeploy, etc. of AWS. Ensured high availability by practicing best software architecture patterns & implementing observability using Prometheus & Grafanna other than APM (like New Relic) for performance tuning. Implemented CI/CD with Jenkins using Terraform & Ansilbe as IaC.
