Member Technical Staff

Zoho
Jun, 2015 - May, 2016 11 months
    I became familiar with hg, issue tracker, post man and how to navigate through large code base and fixing bugs super fast. I adhered to strict SLAs and always finished tasks much before deadline, ensuring QA gets enough time to test. I was part of two teams Zoho Social and Zoho CRM. I developed a backend functionality that reduced API calls to Facebook Graph API by more than 40% that caches the permissions granted by user. This reduced graph API usage throttle significantly. I voluntarily fixed some of the bugs on my own that took more time to execute in server. I profiled the code that took more time in server and fixed those by viewing the source code of language and often implemented a version that is suitable for the app requirements. I became familiar with OAuth and have developed many REST APIs here. I took ownership of some of the REST API modules and also developed few APIs from scratch. I initiated revamping the analytics feature used in Zoho Social and did market research and came up with POC. I was also responsible for maintaining and monitoring Cassandra. In addition to the job responsibilities, I also learnt many new technologies.

Indian Gender Predictor

Jan, 2019 - Feb, 2019 1 month

    Worked on a different project to predict Indian election results from sentiment analysis of tweets. There was no library available at that time to predict gender from Indian names. So I created this opensource python library to solve this issue.

AutoLogout

Jan, 2016 - Feb, 2016 1 month

    Developed this chrome extension for an internal hackathon organized by my company. The goal of the hackathon was to improve productivity. This extension automatically logs out the person from Facebook, Twitter and Quora after 10 minutes. Since we spend too much time on social media, this extension will automatically log out and save time thereby allowing to focus on the important work.
