• Spearheaded development of micro-service-based, large-scale ed-tech product, collaborating closely with Product and Business teams.• Evaluated and selected an optimal open-source LMS for our e-learning platform, establishing it as the core foundation that has successfully scaled and operated seamlessly for over 4 years.• Designed and implemented a new credentialing system that integrates with Verifiable Credentials and Digital Wallets, while ensuring backward compatibility with legacy courses.• Sole engineer responsible for end-to-end development of a gateway tool that enables seamless integration and data sharing between our LMS and partner LMS platforms.• Solely responsible for successfully migrating production-grade OpenShift clusters from v4.8 to v4.14 without any downtime.• Architected the CI/CD pipeline for the code ecosystem and developed Helm charts to streamline deployments across multiple environments in OpenShift.

• Sole developer in charge of designing the architecture, database, and backend for the World Health Organization’s official COVID-19 mobile app, released during the pandemic.• Led the team to deploy the app on AWS, working closely with AWS engineers to set it up on scalable EC2 Fargate instances; I also created templates using CloudFormation to deploy the app in both UAT and Production environments.• Collaborated with RedHat on an open-innovation project where we built the foundation for our e-learning product, and I gained hands-on experience with OpenShift and open-source tools like Helm (Package manager), ArgoCD (Continuous Deployment), Jenkins (Continuous Integration), Prometheus and Grafana (Monitoring), Jaeger (Distribute Tracing), Istio (Service Mesh), Kong (API Gateway) and others.

• Led multiple projects as a Backend Software Engineer, managing everything from project scope and schedules to development and delivery.• Developed scalable, reusable code using Django REST Framework, creating APIs that supported both web and mobile applications.• Created efficient CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI and deployed applications on Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

As a Junior Backend Developer, I took full ownership of backend development for projects, working closely with mobile and web developers to deliver and integrate APIs into fully functional applications. I also mastered Git workflows, implemented branching strategies, and set up CI/CD pipelines to streamline project deployments. This experience gave me a strong foundation in backend development and collaboration across teams.

I began as an intern and quickly grew my expertise in Python, Django, and REST APIs. During my time there, I gained hands-on experience in designing database schemas and building robust web applications. The startup environment gave me the opportunity to work on real-world projects, where I learned the ins and outs of backend development and honed my problem-solving skills. This experience laid the foundation for my journey as a backend engineer, shaping my approach to scalable and efficient system design.
