About

With a Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology from the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad, I am currently excelling as a Senior Software Engineer at Jodo. My core competencies include Django REST Framework, MySQL, Node.js, and Ruby on Rails, which I leverage to maintain and enhance our asynchronous task management service. At Jodo, my team and I revamped the loan platform's user verification and product selection flow, significantly increasing automation and turnaround time. Our collaborative efforts in developing a unified communication service substantiated my commitment to innovation and efficiency. I'm eager to continue contributing to a culture of excellence and diversity with my technical knowledge and problem-solving prowess.
