About

Hello! I'm Gopal, a seasoned Lead Software Engineer with a passion for crafting exceptional web experiences. I specialize in building performant web applications and solving complex challenges with a touch of design finesse. With over 7.8 years of hands-on expertise in building high-impact web applications at scale, I am currently working as a Technical Lead at Paytm in the Payment Gateway Team. Here, I'm creating seamless online payment solutions for both desktop and mobile devices, as well as developing administrative applications for efficient payment reconciliation and removing manual file maintenance. I take pride in mentoring junior developers and actively engaging in sprint planning, code development, unit testing, and deployments. I'm skilled in JavaScript (ES6+), React JS, Redux, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, CSS-in-JS, Styled Components, Node JS, Express JS, MongoDB, and RESTful API design. I'm also proficient in Jest, Enzyme, Git, GitHub, Bit Bucket, Webpack, Gulp, Jira, and Agile methodologies. I bring a unique blend of problem-solving skills and a strong design sense to every project. Having worked with companies like IHS Markit, Mindfire Solutions, and Capgemini, I've optimized website performance, developed user dashboards, and implemented innovative solutions. Notably, my contribution to implementing the Nutriscore quality labeling system significantly impacted the purchasing decisions of customers and boosted sales in the Belgium region for Delhaize. I'm reachable at gopal.chitkara@gmail.com or you can find me everywhere else, @gopalchitkara
