Developed a custom feedback aggregation software system. I set it up with a complete front-end architecture along with building a cross-platform React application with Redux as a state-management tool. The software is currently serving around 20 clients with more than 200 outlets.
Additionally, I worked on creating a Flutter-based mobile application integrating GraphQL APIs and made interactive quiz-based feedback submissions feature for the users.

Created a meta-search engine helping millions of travelers around the globe to make confident decisions. It's currently available in over 18 languages and more than 30 countries. I contributed to revamping the affiliate portal and provided 70% of test coverage. I also monitored regression and canary builds for staging the production environment and resolved any release blockers effectively. Also, developed and deployed advanced chatbots for Discord and Telegram, leveraging Python and Node.js. Utilized frameworks such as Discord.js and python-telegram-bot for efficient bot programming and automation. Monitored bot performance using tools like Prometheus and Grafana. Optimized bot efficiency and response time through code refactoring and performance tuning. Actively engaged with the bot user community to gather feedback, provided support and updates, and continually enhanced bot features based on user input.

Created a US-based job marketplace and social media platform using AI and machine learning algorithms to target blue-collar jobs. I delivered the employer's portal with the most efficient team management in a minimal amount of time. I also managed the team by switching to Agile methodologies using Scrum and Kanban processes as per the client's demands.

Developed the solution in React and used LaunchDarkly for feature management and GitLab DevOps pipelines for smooth sprint deployments. Finally, I translated Figma UI/UX design wireframes to the actual product. Complete API collections were set up in Postman, and documentation was written in Swagger.

120,000+ companies, from small businesses to Fortune 500 enterprises, use Motive to transform the safety, productivity, and profitability of their operations. I contributed to adding SSO login and Google Maps APIs extensively for all platforms. I integrated various 3rd-party APIs (such as Google APIs, OpenWeatherMap, and custom business APIs) with bots to enhance functionality. Managed webhooks for real-time data processing and event-driven bot responses.

Developed a simple social media app while providing a sample of quality work to clients. I developed this web app from scratch in the MERN stack with GraphQL as the API paradigm best suitable for this problem.

A full-stack application developed in React and FastAPI along with ML pipelines setup to run on collected user data for image generation. A stable diffusion ML model was used on the back end. I was the full-stack developer who designed and developed a customer MVP with full unit testing in pytest for the back end.

Implemented NLP techniques using libraries like NLTK and spaCy to enable bots to understand and respond to user queries more effectively, enhancing user interaction and engagement. Designed bots with scalability in mind, using microservices architecture and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure to handle high traffic and ensure uptime.

Implemented OAuth2 for user authentication in bots, ensuring secure access. Employed best practices in security to safeguard against vulnerabilities and unauthorized access.
