• Worked in Secure Foundations, a team within AWS Security. Secure Foundations had built a tool called Palisade that scanned the resources of ~400K internal AWS accounts for vulnerabilities or insecure configurations and alerted their owners about their resources that were flagged thereby eliciting fast remediation.
• My job was to build and deploy Palisade Exemption Tool, a serverless web application and an extension to Palisade, to allow resource owners request exemption of their resources from scans for the checks that they have a valid reason for. It was due to those special cases where the configuration, despite being improper, was acceptable and reasonable due to business use case. The application also helped security engineers manage the status of resources and keep track of the changes that have been made over time in the form of an audit log.
• The application was serverless to reduce operational load. It was built using React and AWS (CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and Streams, S3). Its infrastructure was provisioned using AWS CloudFormation (AWS CDK) and deployed via an internal tool called Pipelines. Everything was written and tested in TypeScript in a Monorepo setup managed using Lerna.

• Worked in the Tax team. As a full stack engineer, I worked on frontend, backend, deployment and operations.
• I was primarily responsible for designing and building web applications for our clients to help them perform their tasks faster. Since our clients came from a finance background and used Excel to deal with a lot of data, most of our web applications were specialized tools to automate the processes which were hard to do manually. As an example, one of the applications I worked on allowed the clients to feed their data into our system and then group and visualize it in many different ways. It was a challenge to build such a responsive and data-heavy application.
• I was also responsible for making sure the applications were getting built properly and in reasonable time. As one of my tasks, I worked on the build process of frontend to upgrade it and simultaneously improve it. I went through the entire process (written in Webpack and Grunt), figured out the correct order of steps, removed useless ones and replaced some with better alternatives. This reduced the build time (by ~85%) and the bundle size as well.
• I also worked on several PoCs. One of them was looking into MobX and figuring out if it was worth transitioning to from Redux. I setup the skeleton of a MobX application and delivered a session on it highlighting its pros and cons. Pros outweighed the cons, so all the applications were built using that skeleton going forward.
• I also contributed outside work I did as part of my team. For example, I organized and delivered a session, with other employees, on frontend development to new hires and interns. I built a PoC in Arcesium Hackathon 2018 to automate a workflow and presented it to the leaders of the company. I also visited my campus with other employees and held interviews to recruit interns.

• Worked in the Tax team. As an intern, my job was to build FATCA Reporting Tool, a web application, to automate the generation, encryption and decryption of FATCA reports. It was built using Angular (in TypeScript), Spring and Microsoft SQL Server. After building it, I delivered a session on it to the clients, explaining them the architecture and the technologies used (Angular and TypeScript were new to the company). In the end, I got an offer to join the team full-time after completing my Bachelor's.
