ABOUT ME
Lead Software Engineer
Lead Software Engineer

I am currently working as a lead software engineer in a leading ad-tech company Media.net, but daily office hours is just not my thing. I am gaining experience to build something of my own in future.

I have worked as a web developer in award winning startups like PlaypowerLabs, Appbase, Gridle. But web development is not where I stop, I like to scale and containerise things, also collect and work on big data set by building automated pipeline. Currently I am getting my hands dirty with Kubernetes, Docker and building highly scalable backend systems in Java.

Apart from technical side, I am also quite involved with cultural activities around me. I like to write (mostly horror fiction, any one interested can ping me), dance and dramatics (street, stage, mime, mimc). I would love to write along with someone too. Apart from that I am a big website critic, if you ever want to know what's bad in your website, even if everyone believes it's perfect, I am not going to.

I spend a lot of time in understanding a problem statement and analysing it before working on it to yield best results. I value every member of a group equally and always encourages everyone to learn even if someone feels incapable of contributing.

I like to contenarise everything. Any new application that I make after a local POC and before getting deployed is first containerised. I am always amazed to learn how those 10 lines in Dockerfile can really scale my application horizontally to infinity. I have helped other teams in my current company to even containerise and scale their products. Build a whole inhouse distirbuted ETL using docker swarm.

For automating any small stuff to building a full fledged API server, python is my first choice for coding stuff real fast and quick. I use it in my day to day life to make small useful scripts. I have gone quite deep in best practices of python and now I follow my own stack for the same.

Built a GPU database over SQLite by following the research paper http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~skadron/Papers/bakkum_sqlite_gpgpu10.pdf. This database used several GPU optimization techniques to boost up the results. It is a very constrained database supporting only SELECT queries and even with certain limitations on the query itself but give 200-2000 times faster results than the sqlite databases
