👋 Hi, I’m Chirag Bansal, a software engineer with a bias for backend engineering. My journey began at a small R&D lab at Infosys where I learned how to turn problem statements into proof of concept demos and MVPs, understanding what it takes to create a product that fits a problem statement. My desire to work more closely with users and production code pushed me to join automate.io where I learnt how to contribute, build and focus on a core product already in the market with hundreds and thousands of users. After the acquisition of automate.io by Notion Labs, I further augmented my understanding of what it takes to design, build and maintain software and to make it more human friendly in more dimensions than I knew of before. After nearly 5 years of professional experience, I chose to go for a masters program in computer science, to take some time off, consolidate my learnings and get a much broader sense of how I can excel in this domain further.🚀 What sets me apart? I enjoy solving complex problems! I believe most complex problems can be broken down into smaller, simple solutions which don't require reinventing the wheel at each step.🔑 Key Skills:- Building robust backend services.- Designing and querying around different types of databases.- Proficient in implementing data structures and creating efficient solutions around them- Adept with cloud platforms like AWS and GCP- Creating unit tests, integration and development pipelines- Skilled at working with cross-functional teams.🌟 What I’m Known For:- Clean Code: I believe readability and maintainability are essential.- Problem-Solving: I enjoy tackling intricate puzzles and finding elegant solutions.- Continuous Learning: Always exploring new technologies and best practices.📬 Let’s Connect!
