As Baxi’s core member in articulating India’s first on-demand motorcycle taxi platform, I maintained a secure infrastructure, developed web applications for admin and operation team and established an efficient development / production workflow.

• Configured Baxi’s HTTP endpoints on AWS API Gateway which later helped us in a smooth transition from API version 1 to version 2. Later on, I built a near real-time logging of the API Gateway HTTP endpoints using AWS Lambda (function-as-a-service), visualized in logz.io.
• Prototyped an onboarding process for drivers and supervisors built on Parse server which later became an integral part of the onboarding workflow. This decision to use Parse server allowed us to build HTTP end points quickly, supported multiple document formats for storing and hooks on tables were used to streamline the onboarding workflow.
• Introduced a bot built using Hubot to deploy the development environment from Slack channels. Production workflow included blue-green deployment with AWS Codedeploy and immutable infrastructure maintained using Terraform.

At Bookmyshow, I contributed in building an event management platform for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE), collaborated with designers and backend developers and helped in expanding the team size.

• Collaborated with designers on UX / UI to build React Components for an event management platform. To ease the collaboration, I built a prototype that provided a black box environment to view and update web components in isolation from the app.
• Collaborated with backend developers on designing Restful APIs. I had prototyped a mock server with Nedb as a local datastore to synchronize the communication between backend and frontend applications. We maintained a well formated documentation of the endpoints based on JSDoc.
• Interviewed prospective employees and mentored a junior software developer on the team. We were able to expand our development team from three members to six members (two senior developers and a junior developer) within a year.

• As a Web Hacker in Minsh, I contributed in developing a mobile web application for community engagement built with Angular JS (1.0).
• Gained valuable experience in project ownership, server side and client side development, code testing (unit and end-to-end).
• Contributed in building a bower component called AngularJS Errors Directive. It is a module for error message feedbacks.
• The project started out with ideation, later defining business model and finally reaching out to clients. This app is used in BangaloreJS community and has many more clients including Microsoft Accelerator, Alliance Francaise and Techstarts.
