What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to lead engineering teams in creating impactful technology solutions.

I am Aishwarya Raj Pandey, currently serving as the Head of Engineering at IVM, where I lead the engineering efforts for our podcast applications. With a strong background in mobile app development, I have successfully managed the engineering aspects of our Android app, achieving a remarkable 99.4% crash-free user rate and over 40 million downloads. My role involves not just overseeing the app's performance but also scaling our backend infrastructure using Kubernetes and automating processes with Terraform and Ansible on AWS.

Prior to my current position, I held the role of Technical Lead at Pratilipi Comics, where I was instrumental in creating the Pratilipi Comics application from the ground up. My experience spans across various technologies, including Kotlin, Node.js, and Python, and I have a proven track record of implementing robust solutions that enhance user experience and engagement. I thrive in dynamic environments where innovation and collaboration are key, and I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems.
