Work Experience
Full-stack Developer
2022 - PRESENT
Daily AI LLC
- Owned the responsibility of enforcing conventions and maintainability for back-end components by performing code reviews and making software design decisions.
- Built a task automation pipeline like Hubspot's to automate actions like sending emails, SMS, etc., based on certain trigger conditions. This helped users to automate their custom workflows inside the CRM and reduce time churn in repetitive tasks.
- Built core features like third-party email sign-in and SMS integration using Twilio. Enabling users to have seamless communications with their leads using multiple communication channels without switching the context away from the CRM.
- Built a custom WYSIWYG editor using Tiptap with advanced features like merge fields injection inside the editor workspace.
- Refactored API source code completely to use an ORM like Prisma andTypeGraphQL. Automated TypeScript and GraphQL type generation to reduce development overhead and improve the developer experience.
- Used NX monorepo code architecture to easily scale the codebase and implement all reusable components as standalone sharable libraries.

Back-end Node.js Developer (Part-time Flutter)
2022 - 2022
AAA Equities
- Used Node.js with TypeScript to develop the APIs for all business logic, buying/selling stocks, maintaining the order book and transaction history, updating the user's current holdings with the LTP, and caching data for aggregations and metrics.
- Utilized screens of the app as a reference for modeling the response of the APIs. The use of Firestore listeners enabled pushing data to the app when available rather than requiring the app to constantly pull data from the server, which reduced cost.
- Employed Firebase and its sub-services like Firestore, the Firebase Realtime Database, and Cloud Functions to deploy the whole API suite to the cloud. It provided ample scalability with callable and background functions as the infrastructure's main working unit.
- Contributed to the cross-platform app built using Flutter. Single-handedly developed the settings and order history sections.
- Developed features like the SMS MFA setup, native biometric auth setup, updating the user's profile and credentials, FAQ, and a tabular order history view which listed out the executed and pending orders with date filters for easy tracking.
- Used Riverpod for global state management and employed Flutter hooks to make the app code smaller and more modular.

- Built a message orchestrator service using Express and Node.js with TypeScript to coordinate the data flow between multiple data pipeline stages.
- Helped automate the deployment of all the required AWS resources for the infrastructure (Lambda functions, API gateways, and so on) using AWS SAM templates and a CD pipeline.

MyTry eCommerce Store | Cosmetics Brand
This is an eCommerce store built with Next.js and headless WooCommerce as the back end. I worked as a full-stack developer with a design house and made all the technical decisions (payment integrations, newsletter provider, back-end and front-end architecture and frameworks, etc.) while ensuring that budget limits were not exceeded beyond reason.
One of the main targets was to ensure that even though we were using React to build the website, it should have best-in-class SEO and blazing fast load speeds, achieved using SSR, minimizing bundle size, and link preloading.
The back-end development had its own hurdles since the WooCommerce headless API was not mature enough to support basic features, such as customer authentication and multiple shipping addresses for a user. To resolve this, we extended the API using our own proxy for a few endpoints.

Information Kiosk for a Sports Festival
https://abhivarta.netlify.appThis is a vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript website for a sports festival and I was the full-stack developer. The website served as an information kiosk for all the students joining the fest from all over India.
While it was important for the website to function correctly, it was also important for it to stand out in terms of its look and feel. Hence the website is very animation-heavy and has a nice elegant design without compromising on mobile device compatibility and user experience.
