IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a software engineer with over five years of hands-on experience building and optimizing backend systems, deploying scalable applications, and integrating APIs across platforms. I focus on Ruby on Rails backends with PostgreSQL/MySQL and have a strong track record of implementing secure payment gateways and automation workflows.
At Spacebox I built and optimized backend systems, automated workflows with Google Apps Script, and deployed apps to Heroku; at Zapbuild I developed Rails services, integrated numerous APIs, and mentored junior developers. I am actively expanding my skills in Python and AI/ML tools including NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, and TensorFlow.
I bring practical experience with cloud deployments, REST API design, and automation, paired with a collaborative mindset and experience mentoring teams. I seek roles where I can continue backend engineering while growing in Python and machine learning.
