About

As a Software Development Engineer III at LEAD School, I lead a small team of developers and work closely with product managers to design and implement services that enhance the learning experience of millions of students. I have a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Computer Science from BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, and I am proficient in Node.js, Typescript, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, AWS, Redis, Reactjs, and microservices. In my current role, I have leveraged AWS SNS, SQS, and Lambda functionalities to develop a reliable and error-proof system that can handle scalability. I have also developed an end-to-end assessment process that prepares, distributes, grades, and generates reports for children’s assessments, serving approximately 1.5 million students on a daily basis. Additionally, I have facilitated the transition of APIs from a monolithic architecture to a microservices architecture, which improved overall product understanding and addressed several legacy issues. I am passionate about solving complex problems and delivering high-quality solutions that create a positive impact on education.
