Most of what I do here is confidential 🤫.
But here is what I can say,
I'm really good at whatever I do 😉.

Wrapped up an amazing 4-day team trip with 20+ people! Got the tech crew out of the office and into nature for some much-needed downtime.

Just because my recent posts have been about recruitment doesn't mean I've stepped away from coding. In fact, it's quite the opposite - I've been busy showcasing why being a jack-of-all-trades in tech is severely underrated.

Just because my recent posts have been about recruitment doesn't mean I've stepped away from coding. In fact, it's quite the opposite - I've been busy showcasing why being a jack-of-all-trades in tech is severely underrated.
  Context of the Screenshot attached (Had to censor some keywords for confidentiality) : I recently completed a full-fledged app solo in 6 months, including a crucial import feature. A feature which took an entire team elsewhere a month to implement. From backend to frontend, with some nginx wizardry thrown in, I can handle it all.
  This isn't about comparing teams or timelines. It's about versatility. In today's tech landscape, the ability to navigate multiple domains isn't just useful - it's essential. While specialists definitely have their place, there's immense value in developers who can adapt, pivot, and deliver across the stack.
  So yes, I can spot talent and lead recruitment drives. But at my core, I'm a full-stack developer who thrives on challenges across the development spectrum. Need someone who can architect a solution end-to-end and then build it? That's where I shine.

Recently visited two colleges for Zoho's campus recruitment: Rajalakshmi Engineering College (my alma mater) and SRM Easwari Engineering College. Caught up with my former HOD, engaging in a valuable discussion about upcoming technologies and the club I previously led. Enjoyed the insightful exchange. Engaging with students and faculty at both institutions was insightful.
  It's interesting to be on the interviewer's side numerous times so soon after graduation. Appreciate Zoho for the chance to leverage my full stack expertise in evaluating candidates during the hiring process

Campus Recruiting Drive - Already helping my team scout new talent within a couple of years for the 2nd time. Hopefully the prospects are ready to join my squad. Beautiful campus. Couldn't resist taking a few snapshots.

  • 👦 Joined Zoho as Project Trainee
  • 👶 Selected as Student Intern

I have always been interested in electronics🔋, antennas📡, and computer science💻. While I was able to self-learn computer science, I chose to pursue a formal education in Electronics and Communication Engineering to deepen my knowledge in these areas.
  Along with the most awaited college life, came the Covid lockdown😷. Apart from restrictive lockdowns and excessive assignments, I managed to

  • 🥇 Participated and won a few competitions
  • 🛠 Attended SAEINDIA hands-on Autonomous Vehicle Workshop
  • 📝 Volunteer as a trainer for Arduino workshop
  • 📜 Completed a lot of certification courses

Higher Secondary SSLC

87%

Pursued my 11th and 12th Grade in D.A.V. Matriculation Higher Secondary School. Chose Computer Science group which includes Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science. Also demonstrated a fibre optic communication channel using Arduino.

Matric SSC

98%

The foundation of my academics and personality were laid in St.Sebastians Matriculation Higher Secondary School. Apart from academic excellence, I also pursued various extra curricular activities as follows

  • 🔥 Member of boy scouts and participated in camping and march-past
  • 🧭 Selected as the Squad Captain in Scouts
  • 👨 Selected as the Leader of Young Student Movement

LeetCode is for people who enjoy solving problems that were already solved a thousand times. I’d rather build real projects and create something useful, instead of memorizing algorithms just to flex on the internet.

EPMA

EPMA or Efficient Positioning for Machining Algorithms is a Shape Placement Optimization algorithm for CNC Machining.

8 Bit Fibre Optic Communication Channel

A Fibre Optic Communication channel between 2 Arduino capable of transmitting and receiving 8 bit of data.

Acoustic Relative Positioning Protocol

Developed an Acoustic Positioning Protocol that detects the angle of sound as my final year project. Patent pending ... 👍

PCM Simulation

A educational simulation of Pulse Code Modulation developed for IITM-PALS-VLABS

Designers' Consoritum Website

A website for Designers' Consoritum Club which I lead as the President.

CLINT

CLINT or Command Line Interface NLP Tool is a Natural Language Processing AI interface built to automate tasks using human language as input. The theory is that "Once an Machine Learning NLP algorithm is taught basic commands, it's intelligence would evolve iteratively". My model was trained enough to perform mathematical operations, find and open files in my PC using natural language.

Arduino Master Delta

I created "Arduino Master Delta," a Python library designed to communicate with Arduino Microcontrollers and visualize data. This project allowed me to deepen my understanding of data visualization, Git, and the inner workings of Python libraries. I developed it as an alternative to Processing, which uses C, since I preferred a Python-based solution for the task.

Secure Mail Server

I developed a public API service designed to send emails from static webpages that lack a secure method for email transmission. I built this web service after experiencing spam from one of these unreliable service providers.

Py-me

Py-me is a Socket.io API used to execute a Python snippet and get back the output for easier software development. It is secure, free and can be accessed from any language that has Socket.io Framework. Py-me was built specially for static webpages hosted on free web hosting services like GitHub, Glitch and Heroku where you might have to pay for a Backend services. A static website has various limitations which can be overcome using py-me.

Star Gazing &
Astrophotography

šŸ”­

I love escaping the city life to the darkest nights where am accompanied by the vastness of the universe. Here are a few snaps I took to preserve those moments.

Hiking/Trekking

A remote cabin in the woods, an Introverts dream. I enjoy leaving the civilization behind into the least explored forests and wake up amidst the dark & cold mornings.

A remote cabin in the woods, an Introverts dream. I enjoy leaving the civilization behind into the least explored forests and wake up amidst the dark & cold mornings.
  An Unforgettable Tale: The picture in the 2nd slide was shot at 4 AM by the entrance of my camp beyond which I was asked not to stroll alone. I set up my tripod, took a few long exposure shots by the edge of the camp wishing to spot stars on that cloudy night. On a quick glance, It was a bad night for stargazing and I went back to my cabin disappointed. Upon checking the shots, this one pic blew my mind. In the woods, there were a pair of glowing eyes, gazing right at me for atleast 2 minutes (Time taken for a minimal long exposure shot) without flinching that sent chills down my spine. This forest was known to house leopards and tigers. Fun fact, there is also a cemetary straight down that trail.

Motorcycling

šŸļø

Riding my motorbike, leaving all worries on the road. Sometimes over the rivers and sometimes through the deserts.
