Pulkit Sood Email & Phone Number

With a strong proficiency in software development and data engineering from four and a half years of experience, I have built streamlined, clean, and comprehensive programs that have provided robust improvements for business functions. As a software engineer, I work constantly to hone my skills in data analysis, object-oriented programming, algorithm design, database management, software testing, and code optimization so that I deliver the most effective technical solutions to my organization. I excel in Java programming and integration, SQL script development, Unix shell scripting, Hive cluster management, utilization of Apache frameworks, Python programming, and improvement of ETL operations. In my latest role, I have leveraged this technical knowledge and my skills to boost the speed of my organization's database build processes by 30% and improve the space efficiency of their data storage by 20%. In the course of achieving the above, I have also fully overhauled code that is essential to the aforementioned processes by removing significant technical debt and using version control tools to restore codebase integrity. This challenging work has helped me become a subject matter expert and a resource to my team, as I am now equipped with the ability to fill in any gaps in understanding my team may have regarding the above processes. Thus, I am constantly looking to take any and all opportunities to grow, be an indispensable team player, and provide the best possible impact for my company.
