What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with a strong background in computer science and engineering, holding a B.Tech from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bhubaneswar. With a CGPA of 8.97, I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to excellence in my academic and professional pursuits. My career has been marked by significant contributions at Goldman Sachs, where I played a pivotal role in developing the Central Orchestrator for Market Risk Metrics, achieving remarkable efficiencies and reducing operational risks.

Currently, I am with BrightEdge, where I lead the Search Volume module, successfully reducing the time to display search volume on the platform from over a week to less than 48 hours, while maintaining 99% availability. My technical expertise spans a wide array of technologies, including Python, AWS, and Kafka, enabling me to drive key enhancements and optimizations in complex systems. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and continuously seek opportunities to innovate and improve processes.
