Early
I was born and brought up at my hometown in Maharashtra, India.
I completed my schooling untill High School (XII) from my
hometown itself. I was a curious child and computers fascinated
me since childhoold. I had a 2GB RAM Windows XP Computer with
almost no internet speed. I used to learn new things through it
and explore with the limited internet access I had. I learnt few
things like Photoshop, Corel Draw, and MS Office.
I was good at Mathematics and Physics, and thus started my
journey towards Engineering. I completed my High School with
91.1% in 2020 and cleared JEE Advanced with All India Rank of
985 among 250K students. Thus started my journey at IIT Kanpur.
College
When I came to IIT Kanpur, I was very intimidated by various
students coming from different backgrounds. I keep my
motivations high even though the Day 1 of IIT Kanpur was at my
home, sitting in front of my new Gaming laptop, attending
Counselling Service's talks about IIT Kanpur. Offline campus
started after more than a year and I was very excited to live
the "Campus Life" everyone talked so highly of.
After spending almost two years at IIT Kanpur, I can
finally say that I have discovered so many truths about the
world. I am lucky enough to have all the experiences that I had,
no matter how good or bad they were. I learnt about many aspects
of Life, Friendship, Academics, Relationships, and many more.
Courses
Enough Philosopy, let's talk relevant now.
I completed all the core Computer Science Courses throughout my
third to seventh semester at IIT Kanpur. These includes
Operating Systems, Compiler Design, Database Management System,
Computer Networks, Computer Organization, Advanced Algorithms,
Computer Graphics to name a few. Some other relevant course
includes Probability and Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, Logic
in Computer Science, and Financial Econometrics.
Projects
There were semester-long course projects for almost all the core computer science courses. To name a few, I created a Java Compiler in C++ using Flex and Bison which converts Java source code to x86_64 architecture based assembly language. I created a Social networking web application to connect IITK community as a Software Developement and Operations Course Projects. I also worked with Webgl and GLSL to implement 2D and 3D graphics rendering, animations, texture mapping, postprocessing effects like shadow mapping and bloom, ray tracing, etc. I also worked with BiteBuddy, a IITK platform to provide nearby restaurants for dinning and delievery as a Database Management Project. I also created an 3D Endless runner game using Unity Engine, C# and Blender as Winter Game Jam Projects. I am currently working with DMS-Website, an E-Commerce website with microservices-based architecture in Spring Framework.
Internships
I have completed four corporate internships in past three years. First was in Floworx, an early-age startup where I led the Frontend Team in developing a Mobile Application in Android and IOS Platform in React-Native CLI and Redux Toolkit along with many Material Design. In my next summer, I worked with Visa Inc. at Bengalore as a Software Developer Intern. There I created automated solutions using various tech stacks like Vert.x Framework, Java, Hazelcast distributed caches, and Oracle SQL. I also worked as a Backend Developer Intern at at a Singapore-based Startup called Zaapi, where I launched many new features to their services revolving around custom integrations with Facebook, Lazada, Line, and Shoppe services web-hooks and end-points. I finally worked at EmployWise, a HCM platform, as a Backend Software Engineer. There I worked on various projects, the biggest and most difficult one being "Applicability Manager", where I implemented graph based algorithms to provide hierarchical customisability to the users using neo4j and DynamoDB databases in Spring Framework.
Work Experience
I am currently working at Y combinator backed US based startup, Fiber AI, as a Full Stack Software Engineer. I have lots of responsibility at Fiber AI, which includes managing performance of elastic searches for our in-house search engine over 850 Million+ documents, maintaining stability and resilience over various cron jobs which sometimes takes months to completes, implement new features and function to improve data quality, and so much more. I am learning new things at Fiber AI each day, and it's so fun to work here.
Moving
I hope that you liked my story. If you read all that, thanks, I
really appreciate it. I hope we could connect and have a quick
chat over anything relevant.
