I spent a year as a backend developer intern at A2SV, where I gained extensive experience building and maintaining scalable backend systems. My primary focus was on using the ASP.NET Core framework and C# to develop backend services that were both efficient and maintainable. I adopted the clean architecture pattern to ensure flexibility and scalability in the systems I built. Throughout the internship, I utilized tools such as GitHub for version control, Docker for containerization, and Postman for API testing, contributing to the full development lifecycle from planning to deployment.During my internship, I had the opportunity to work on Contest Central, a platform designed for A2SV trainees to track their coding contests hosted on Codeforces. The platform helped trainees monitor their progress, identify weak areas, and work on specific topics to improve their problem-solving skills. I played a key role in designing and implementing a tracking system that provided detailed progress metrics and insights into contest performance. The system allowed users to visualize trends in their results and focus on areas requiring improvement, significantly enhancing their learning experience.This project not only strengthened my technical skills but also demonstrated my ability to build robust systems that solve real-world problems. By following the clean architecture pattern, I ensured the platform was scalable, maintainable, and easy to extend with new features.In addition to technical development, I developed strong communication and collaboration skills, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software solutions. This experience taught me how to manage and troubleshoot complex systems, handle feedback, and ensure that the solutions I provided met both technical and user needs.My time at A2SV was invaluable in shaping my backend development skills, preparing me to contribute effectively to larger, more complex projects in the future.

I completed a 3-month internship at Eskalate, where I contributed to building a social media API using the ASP.NET Core framework. My primary responsibility was to design and implement a backend system that offered essential features for a dynamic social media platform. The API included several key functionalities to enhance user experience and maintain platform integrity.One of the critical aspects of the project was implementing user authentication, which involved securing the system with refresh tokens and other mechanisms to ensure safe user sessions. This allowed for secure login, registration, and token management, ensuring that user data and interactions remained protected.In addition, I developed a post-moderation system that integrated OpenAI's API to ensure content safety. This feature scanned user-generated posts and captions, identifying and filtering out toxic or inappropriate content, creating a safer environment for platform users. By leveraging AI-powered moderation, we maintained the quality of user posts and helped prevent the spread of harmful content. I also added a tag generator feature, which automatically created relevant tags for posts based on their content. This helped enhance the discoverability of posts and user engagement.Throughout this project, I focused on following best practices in backend development, using the clean architecture pattern to ensure maintainability and scalability. I also utilized GitHub for version control and collaboration with team members, as well as Postman for testing and validating API functionality.This internship was a significant opportunity to apply my knowledge of backend development in a real-world setting. Working on this API gave me practical experience in building secure, efficient, and scalable systems while incorporating cutting-edge technologies like OpenAI to enhance the user experience. It also sharpened my skills in designing APIs that balance performance, security, and functionality.
