ABOUT ME

I am a seasoned senior software engineer with a rich and diverse background spanning 15 years. My expertise lies in a variety of technologies, with a primary focus on WordPress Development, React, TypeScript, NodeJS, Docker, GoLang, GraphQL, Kafka, and Event Driven Systems. My proficiency extends to crafting custom WordPress themes, plugins, and blocks, and I am well-versed in both the Classic Editor and the Gutenberg Block Editor. Additionally, I bring a robust understanding of database management, with hands-on experience in MySQL and PostgreSQL.

As connected as today's world is, we're so obsessed with what others are up to that we barely take care of ourselves. With the Fitbit, we require a level of diligence that doesn't fit with the average person nowadays, and hence we took up the challenge of overcoming Complacency and maybe even Ignorance. We developed a chrome extension that keeps track of your health for you by analyzing pictures of just your face over a fixed interval. And since you're ignorant about it, it doesn't expect you to do anything but show up in front of your screen. We took a research-based approach to this project and got all our facts right. Turns out your face is enough to calculate body mass index (BMI), so we leveraged that with Microsoft's Facial Recognition API to keep track of you in your real life rather than your digital world.
