About

Hi! 👋🏼 I'm Rithika. I've worked with a wide range of technologies from JavaScript to React to Next.js to Node.js to Python in top product-based companies like Byjus' and Locus. Over the past 6 years, I’ve built and optimized web applications, improving user engagement, performance and security. My key achievements: ✅ Led the frontend integration of Byju’s Wiz, an intelligent conversational tutor powered by GPT-4 and Phi-3, delivering an interactive learning flow used by thousands of students. ✅ Developed the Byju’s GeoGebra platform, driving LCP under 2 seconds across all core pages. ✅ Spearheaded the complete frontend revamp of the live order tracking system at Locus, improving scalability, user experience and responsiveness. My key strengths: - 📚 Superstar at consuming knowledge: I plan and research meticulously for the best resources before learning something new. This allows me to unlock the highest quality of learning. - 🧠 Keen, logical mind: I try to leverage algorithmic thinking in any problem. Almost every technical problem can be broken down into a basic algorithmic variation and this insight helps me simplify complex challenges. - 🪷 Resilient and level-headed: I stay calm and focused through any challenge, which allows me to perceive the nuances and details of a problem clearly - 🎯 Perfectionist: I set the highest standards for myself and shoot for the stars. - 💻 Love for tech: Lastly, I have a passion for all things tech that keeps me sharp and on my toes at all times.
