As a founding engineer, I led a team of 3 engineers to develop the core mobile application in React Native.

• Migrated Android and iOS apps from Flutter and Swift to a unified React Native (Expo) and TypeScript codebase, scaling
  to 1,000,000+ users and improving cross-platform consistency and performance.

• Reduced app size by 40%, increased app store conversion by 25% and drove significant MAU/DAU growth.

• Developed a design system with 30+ components for Android, iOS, and web, documented using a Next.js and Storybook playground.

• Wrote end-to-end tests using Jest and RN Testing Library and set up CI/CD infrastructure.

• Implemented an internal Android module in Kotlin for displaying neumorphic design views inside React Native app.

Tech Stack: React, React Native, Expo, NextJS, TypeScript, JavaScript, Kotlin

As an engineer on the Azure Chaos IDC Team (Cloud + AI), I developed a new capability in Azure Chaos Studio—a tool to test the resilience of core Azure Infrastructure and Cloud applications.

• Used C# and DOTNET to create a new fault that can simulate suspending, updating, or resuming a virtual machine.

• Defined and designed the fault's architecture for achieving the desired functionality as well as handling all known edge cases and real-world scenarios.

• Wrote unit and integration tests for the fault using xUnit.

Tech Stack: C#, .NET Framework, xUnit

• Co-developed the company’s core cross-platform dating application for iOS and Android using Flutter and Dart.

• Developed an internal platform called JARVIS for customer support, marketing, content management, and analytics teams using React, TypeScript, and Chakra UI.

• Architected message structures and integrated chat capabilities with Google Firebase SDK, enabling real-time communication with customers.

• Reduced bundle size by 40% and improved First Contentful Paint by 30% through bundle splitting, tree shaking, and static pre-rendering, significantly boosting platform responsiveness and user satisfaction.

• Built an internal Chrome extension using TypeScript that enables freelancers to scrape content from Instagram and TikTok.

Tech Stack: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, NodeJS, Chrome Extensions, Flutter, Dart, Gatsby, Google Firebase, CSS, HTML, Figma

• Utilized InfusionJS to create "Gamepad Navigator" from scratch — a Chrome extension that enables navigation across websites and browsers using a game controller.

• Evaluated different JavaScript-based technologies and frameworks and built an implementation plan for the extension.

• Conceptualized and designed front-end of the extension.

• Automated extension’s GitHub Release / Tag creation and added CI pipeline using GitHub Actions.

• Published the extension on the Chrome Web Store and accrued 900+ downloads till date.

• Implemented new Model Transformation API methods for InfusionJS and tested them using unit tests.

Tech Stack: JavaScript, NodeJS, InfusionJS, CSS, jQuery, Chrome Extensions, ESLint, HTML, Testem, JQUnit / qUnit, Figma, GitHub Actions

Azure Chaos Studio is an experimental tool offered by Microsoft Azure. It is a tool for cloud-based applications that can help improve the application's resilience by introducing faults and simulating outages. It is a fully managed chaos engineering experimentation platform for accelerating discovery of hard-to-find problems, from late-stage development through production.

Here's a summary of the work I did as part of this project:

• Used C# and DOTNET to create a new fault that can simulate suspending, updating, or resuming a virtual machine.

• Defined and designed the fault's architecture for achieving the desired functionality as well as handling all known edge cases and real-world scenarios.

• Wrote unit and integration tests for the fault using xUnit.

Microsoft Engage is a mentorship program by Microsoft offered to a limited number of university students. Under this program, the selected students are given a real-world problem statement and are expected to build a solution in a given time period.

We were asked to build a video and chat-based communication platform. I built Cheems Connect as a solution for this problem statement. The details regarding this are mentioned below:

• Built the platform using WebRTC with the ability to add and contact new users.

• Developed the application's front-end using React, TypeScript, and Chakra UI.

• Developed the application's back-end using NodeJS and ExpressJS with TypeScript and connected to a MongoDB database.

• Utilized Google Firebase for real-time messaging.

• Secured the application using Microsoft Sign-in based on OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication.

• Deployed the application on Microsoft Azure.

The Gamepad Navigator is an open-source Chrome extension built using InfusionJS and the HTML5 Gamepad API. It allows users to control websites and browsers using a gamepad such as an Xbox Adaptive controller or a Playstation DualSense controller. Gamepad inputs can be used to do things like scroll around a page, zoom in and out, follow a link, and go back to the previous page. The Gamepad Navigator is also configurable, users can decide which inputs perform which actions.

It supports the following browser and website actions:

• Click on links, buttons, or any other interactive elements

• Move the focus to the previous or next interactive element

• Scroll left, right, up, and down on the website

• Zoom in and out of the website

• Open a new browser tab or window

• Close current browser tab or window

• Switch to the previous or next browser tab

• Switch to the previous or next browser window

• Go back to previous page or the next page in browser history

• Maximize and restore the size of current browser window

• Reopen the last closed tab or window

Check out the demonstration video to see the Gamepad Navigator in action.

I served as one of the primary contributors to InterMine back in 2020. InterMine is a multi-faceted tool being developed by folks at the Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge. It integrates heterogenous data sources, making it easy to query and analyse data. I contributed actively to the following projects:

• InterMine Data Browser: A faceted search tool to display and visualize data from semi-homogenous biological datasets.
• InterMine Registry: A web application that helps to search, manage, and administer (add, update, and delete) the multiple instances of the biological datasets. It also extends a RESTful API that is used in other InterMine applications.
