About

I’m the Founder & Director of Shastack India Technologies, a software company focused on building real-world developer tools, AI-powered systems, and custom assessment platforms for tech hiring. At Shastack, I lead product development, engineering, and innovation across multiple projects, including CodingChai.com — our flagship platform for technical interview assessments. With over 10 years of experience, I’ve designed and delivered thousands of assessments tailored for hiring in: • Frontend Engineering (React, Angular, Vue, VanillaJS) • Backend Development (Node.js, Django, .NET, Spring Boot, Rails) • DevOps (Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible) • Data Engineering (Spark) • Data Science (Python, Jupyter) • Product Management & System Design I’ve worked closely with engineering teams and hiring managers to create assessments that reflect actual job responsibilities — not just algorithm puzzles. Our platform, CodingChai, supports hands-on evaluations across full-stack, mobile, QA, and data roles using real frameworks and tools like Flask, FastAPI, Laravel, Flutter, React Native, Selenium, and Cucumber. Earlier in my career, I contributed extensively to HackerRank, where I: • Created the Python language track (HackerRank Python) • Built the ProjectEuler+ challenge series • Managed major contests like 101 Hack, Week of Code, 2020 Hack, and Ad Infinitum (Mathematics) I’ve also led and coordinated large remote teams — managing 100s of freelance contributors to scale up content production and assessments for various domains.
