Enabled corporate entities to extend covid pass and vaccinations in JioHealthHub App to 1M and growing users by designing and implementing corporate partner microservice and owning it end to end. Designed database for the user platform and profiled it against existing designs for query performance. Reduced testing time by 95 during release by designing and implementing an automated integration test stage in the release pipeline. As a side effect increased confidence in shipping features. Designed a JSON based protocol which powers coherent user journeys across devices. Designed and implemented monitoring across all the microservices using Grafana and ElasticSearch resulting in ability to introspect service performance in production based on metrics of interest.

mentoring org zulip
Google Summer of Code Student 2018
Mentoring organisation: Zulip Worked with Zulip (a very powerful open source group chat application built with Python and Django). • Optimized Zulip’s provisioning toolchain for common use cases. Achieved 26% faster no-op provisioning and made it possible that addition of database migrations would not require provisioning tools to rebuild entire development and test databases, thus achieving a significant practical speed up. • Worked on Zulip’s authentication system and fixed issues like users getting logged out or stuck in login loops which resulted in improved user experience. • Formalized policy for writing CSS style sheets and puppet scripts and migrated existing code base to follow the policy. Integrated stylelint and puppet-lint into our linting toolchain to enforce the new policy. • Migrated web app’s HTML/JS to use font awesome 4.7.0. • Fixed subtle bug with test database generation tool.

kandra labs
Open Source Software Developer Intern
Kandra Labs is the company that supports the Zulip project and employees the core team working on the Zulip open source project. I worked on various projects some of which are bulleted out here: • Designed Content Security Policy for the Zulip web app using an iterative approach and implemented it to secure Zulip against XSS attacks. • Built the entire v1 of ”Reminders for Messages” feature from core backend infrastructure to end user facing UI. Feature was yet to be merged. • Implemented logic for serving uploaded files via NGNIX after the request is authenticated via Django. • Worked on a testing framework for Django migrations.

mentoring org zulip
Google Summer of Code Student 2017
Mentoring organisation: Zulip Worked with Zulip (a very powerful open source group chat application built with Python and Django). Work included adding new features, optimising Zulip for better performance, writing node tests, etc. Some bullet points on my work are: • Implemented ”Soft Deactivation of Users”, a backend feature which helps in user transparent user deactivation and reactivation. As a result, there was a 60% boost in database query execution for sending messages in some common use cases. • Built image thumbnailing feature by developing API endpoint for accessing thumbnails and integrating thumbor imaging service into server stack. This resulted in smoother UX in both web and mobile app by decreasing load times for images. • Optimized continuous integration builds and achieved 40% faster builds by proper use of caching.
