About

As a Technical Lead at magicpin, my role spans from architectural decision-making to guiding team members in complex technical landscapes. My educational grounding from the Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, in Electrical Engineering. Recently, I've leveraged my proficiency in Go and MongoDB to migrate our notification system to Kubernetes, significantly enhancing system stability. My expertise in BigTable integration was instrumental in developing a data warehousing system, contributing to our analytical capabilities and strengthening the overall infrastructure at magicpin.
