Shikha Rani

I’m a results-driven Backend Developer with 4+ years of experience building scalable server-side applications using Python and MongoDB. I currently contribute to the Vetty background verification platform at TeqFocus, focusing on REST API development, database design, and backend architecture. I’m passionate about writing clean, maintainable code that delivers dependable software solutions.

At TeqFocus, I’ve developed and maintained RESTful APIs using Python (Flask) to support end-to-end background verification workflows. I design and optimize MongoDB schemas and queries for efficient storage and retrieval of candidate data, and I integrate third-party services/APIs to automate verification processes. I also identify and resolve performance bottlenecks to improve API response times and system reliability.

I started with full-stack Python training and early projects like an EMI Loan Calculator desktop application, which strengthened my fundamentals in module design, class definitions, and SQL/database querying. I’ve also worked on research in heterogeneous defect prediction (published at ICICC-2020) and built frontend experiences like login/registration using ReactJS—always with a focus on practical implementation and quality delivery.
