I started working on web technologies way back in my college time. I am well versed with other programming languages like Python and Go as well. At the moment PHP is the my core language of development at Zomato, where I work. I also am aware of the build tools for PHP like composer which helps in taking advantage of the community built modules to help build faster.

I have used Javascript for prototyping many of my projects and being a full stack developer this is also one of my tool for web development. Zomato, where I work, is a very product focus company serving 100 million users a month. This is where I learned to take advantage of Javascript in order to create wonderful experience for the people.

I have built and lead projects ranging from prototyping to large scale application in production. My last project included building data pipeline for automating content generation for my company at Zomato. It included web application and background data processing of GBs of data every week.

I first used Node.js back in about 2013. It was a whole new paradigm of building applications at backend. With Node.js came projects like socket.io to complement the nature of Node.js. Without saying node.js and express.js go together with respect to web development. I believe in minimal framework and building custom solutions that fits my use case. I have worked on real-time applications at Zomato along the with sockets for real-time status updates and that too on large scale, 30k connected devices at a time.

I have been using Git since I first came to know about it about 7 years ago for version controlling. I have good expertise in how to create processes for team to work together and to be able to focus on the idea they want to build. Git is the central piece for that for me. The other things included in the process is CI/CD.
