About Me

CS Graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles with 3 years of software development experience.


Having worked as a full stack developer in Software AG and having co-founded an Edutech startup, I have technical and management experience. Currently, I’m focused on upgrading my technical skills by pursuing coursework in software engineering and machine learning. My current toolset includes Python & numpy/scikit/pandas, Java, C, Tensorflow, Angular, TypeScript, HTML/CSS, Jenkins, ANT, Maven and other various frameworks, libraries and technologies related to them.


I am well versed in -

  • software development,
  • designing and developing REST APIs,
  • setting up automated deployment pipelines(CI/CD),
  • static and dynamic call graph analysis
  • task estimation,
  • launching and monitoring live projects



At my job as a full-stack developer, I led a team of 4 to build a project lifecycle management application using Java, AngularJS and business process management tools. In addition to the development work, I acted as the SPOC for the customer, gathered, prioritized and broke down requirements into user stories, and designed the technical architecture of the application.


At my startup, we created a product for schools for student data management, teacher-parent communication, and some predictive analysis of student performance to facilitate maintenance and access to student data for teachers and parents. It served more than 10,000 students and teachers for over a year.

In addition to my responsibility as the lead for front-end application and co-lead of the back-end APIs, I spearheaded the design and implementation of a novel caching system for the web and mobile app which ensured stable service in areas with poor internet connectivity. I also designed a scalable notification framework based on the pub-sub architecture using Redis to facilitate flexible user choice for communication platforms among Whatsapp, SMS, Email, Facebook, etc.
