Work Experience
My professional journey and accomplishments.
- Developed and maintained backend and frontend for a Learning Management Platform using NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB, and Redis, providing robust and scalable solutions for managing user data and course content. The platform supports 15,000 active users and handles 1 million daily requests.
- Utilized Redis caching and integrated OAuth for secure authentication, enhancing performance, data retrieval efficiency, and user data privacy.
- Designed and implemented RESTful APIs to ensure efficient communication between frontend and backend components, delivering a consistent and engaging user experience.
- Worked on the backend for a JEE/NEET Preparation App with 1.6 million active users and 50 million daily requests, achieving a 50% improvement in response time.
- Optimized the backend for the Quizrr Platform, an online test series platform serving 100,000 active users and handling 10 million daily requests, boosting response performance by 150%.
- Leveraged AWS Lambda Functions to offload complex calculations from ExpressJS, reducing CPU usage and enhancing scalability.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to resolve issues, maintain backend reliability, and ensure high availability and performance across all platforms.
