About

I am a full stack software engineer with experience in building scalable systems and working with various technologies. On the frontend, I have worked with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and Redux. On the backend, I have built REST APIs using GoLang and developed services with Node.js and Express. Currently, I am working with Almabase, a profitable B2B SaaS company that helps universities raise funds and engage alumni. I am working with Django, MySQL, and Elasticsearch. Previously, I worked at BigSteps (bigsteps.io), a SaaS platform that provides tools for designing onboarding experiences at scale. There, I worked with Django, PostgreSQL, Celery, Redis, and TypeScript. Before that, I was with The Small Data Store, a SaaS company creating a data cooperative for the unorganized retail sector in India. I worked on their backend system using GoLang and MongoDB, and on their Progressive Web App (PWA) with React, TypeScript, and Redux. Connect with me - https://topmate.io/kartikay_asija
