About

As a technical lead at Birdeye, I am responsible for keeping the Android app up to date, bug-free, and instant, leading the Android development cycle in Agile, and being an individual contributor. I have integrated Google App Actions, revamped the location module, and implemented a cache layer for the home page, among other features, to enhance the user experience and performance of the app, which is used by over 60,000 businesses. I have more than eight years of experience in software development, with previous roles at Swiggy and Paytm Payments Bank, where I developed various features of their Android consumer applications, using technologies such as Java, Kotlin, RxJava, and Dagger. I am passionate about technology and a self-learner who keeps abreast with the latest developments. I have a strong engineering background, with a B.Tech degree in Information Technology from Maharishi Markandeshwar University. I am looking for more exposure in a real professional atmosphere that enables me to come up with the emerging and latest technology and that gives me the scope of widening the spectrum of my knowledge.
