ABOUT ME

Software engineer with attention to detail and interest in the bigger picture

I'm an all-round software engineer with over 10 years of professional experience in a wide array of technologies. Enjoy delivering value and solving business problems.

Started my career as a full stack web developer (PHP & MySQL, HTML & CSS). Later on, specialized in the backend, database design, API design, scalability, and bits of devops. Have also used Python extensively and toy around with machine learning.

Currently, my preferred language is Scala - I love the succinctness and functional goodness!

Scala is currently my favourite programming language - I've been concentrating on it for the past three years. I've got experience with the popular frameworks and am trying to take my code in the purely-functional direction. But if that's not your cup of coffee, we can do "Scala as a better Java" as well.

Python

5 years experience

I've been programming in Python on and off for many years. It's such a simple and beautiful language!

Django Keras

Git

7 years experience

I version everything and am slightly obsessed about git branching. If you think your code is gone, we can probably salvage it!

Participated in architecting and building the RESTful API backing the Swarms’ mobile app for workers and the admin interface for job providers. Built in Scala, using the Play Framework with Slick, Akka, and Cats, backed by PostgreSQL. Introduced integration tests for the major user journeys, significantly reducing the number of regressions. Migrated the backend to Docker, leading to a unified and predictable development environment and a speed up in continuous integration. Created a simple Python SDK for the API. Suggested several cost-optimization strategies for AWS.
