About

I am currently leading the Live streaming and conferencing platform and OTT platform at Times Internet Limited. My responsibilities include overseeing the development of Live-Streaming, audio-video Conferencing, Media Processing Pipeline, and media delivery system. Additionally, I provide training to team members to ensure their success within the organization. I have led and architected several products, including the Live platform, Gaana Lounge, Conferencing Studio, and a central monitoring system. These products were built with technologies such as React, Golang, WebRTC, HLS, and more. The Gaana Lounge is an audio conferencing platform with music, while Slike Studio is a platform for publishing live conferences to a large audience.Live platform includes an RTMP pub-sub system for input, relay, FLV and HLS streaming. The central monitoring system is used for managing and monitoring system health, logs, alerts, and more. I developed and managed an expense management app called SplitMoney. The app has received significant success, with over 30,000 downloads and a 4.5 rating on the Google Play Store. The app allows users to easily track and split expenses among multiple people, making it a useful tool for managing expenses with friends, family, or colleagues. To ensure a smooth and responsive user experience, the app was built using the latest technologies, including Flutter, Golang, and Firebase. I graduated from Birla Institute of Technology Mesra in 2020, with a major in Computer Science and Engineering. During my time at Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, I gained a strong foundation in computer science and engineering, which has been instrumental in my career as a developer and architect.
