About

As an Engineering Manager at ShareChat, I lead the team in developing backend and mobile applications for ShareChat and Moj, two of India's most popular social media platforms with over 100 million daily active users. I have an Integrated Dual Degree (Btech+Mtech) in Computer Engineering from IIT BHU and an Associate Android Developer certification from Google. With more than 11 years of experience in software engineering, I have gained expertise in Android, Java, Kotlin, J2EE Web Services, PHP, C++, C, and various frameworks and tools such as AppFuse, MySQL, ScyllaDB, Golang, gRPC, protocol buffers, Dagger, Guice, RxJava, Coroutines, Spring MVC, MongoDB, and Redis. I work closely with Product Managers and Business Analysts to understand the requirements, enhance the application functionality, and add new features. I also mentor and manage a team of 25 developers, ensuring 100% of scrum activities are followed, and user stories are delivered on time and with quality. I am passionate about creating innovative and scalable solutions that can solve real-world problems and improve the lives of millions of users. I initiated and led the transition to ScyllaDB, a high-performance NoSQL database, and streamlined microservices with Golang for enhanced performance. I also implemented gRPC, protocol buffers, and server-driven UI components to launch new features without app release. I am always eager to learn new technologies and best practices and share my knowledge and experience.
