Experience

National Rebates

A Next.js-based application to show cashback offers by various retailers like Walmart. It allows users to clip coupons to get discounts at retail stores.

I worked on creating responsive React components. I used Next.js serverless functions to fetch data and Next.js performance improvements by parallelizing tasks. To connect to MariaDB, I utilized Prisma. I developed a pipeline to auto-deploy the project to Google Kubernetes Engine.

Restra.app, A QR-code Restaurant Ordering SaaS

A QR code-based restaurant ordering system is used to place orders, maintain order status, and accept payment.

I worked as a full-stack developer starting from architecture and design, writing a Node.js-based back-end service and integrating it with Remix components. It uses Prisma as ORM to connect to a Postgres database.

Quotient Experience Manager

A drag-and-drop-based web page creation tool, where, as a full-stack developer, I created a GraphQL back end and a React-based front end. The features include an asset library to maintain all static assets like images and videos and create reusable components using the WYSWYG editor. Also, I made a marketing page that can be published immediately or scheduled for publishing at a later date.

Unpkg Search: Search Engine for Unpkg CDN

A Search engine for unpkg CDN. Unpkg is one of the fastest CDNs available for npm modules. It enables using any file from the npm package as a CDN link.

Unpkg search helps search CDN links for unpkg easier. It used npm API to search for packages and was built using Remix.run.

WebUtils

https://www.webutils.app/
A collection of web-based utilities for tasks like bulk image conversion, compression, and text comparison. All utilities work offline after the initial load of the page. Also, all the assets are offline and available to service workers, so even if a user is not connected to the internet, they can use all the features.

SeaChange eCMS

An Angular-based content management and pipeline system for a media company, eCMS has the capability to ingest video Metadata and apply rules defined in the UI.

Examples of rules are transcoding video to various formats and different resolution videos (1920x1080, 1280x720, etc.)

THEMIS

An application to maintain all the legal rules for each country. This app was for the Global Risk and Compliance department to help them comply with the local country's laws and regulations.
I took ownership of the complete front-end, wrote components, and integrated them with REST APIs.
