Worked as a 6-month intern (an academic mandate for degree completion) at BigBasket - India’s largest online supermarket and primarily involved in the team to build the reviews and ratings system. This comprised of necessary services and APIs that are exposed to other teams i.e. app, web front-end etc. and also built an independent review moderation system (manual and automated) for the same.

<ul><li>Worked as a Software Engineer (Backend Systems) primarily focussing in areas of Product Catalog (Visibility and Fulfilment), Search Engine and Reviews &amp; Ratings. My typical role in the team involves me architecting, engineering and supporting various high throughput, low latency RESTful APIs and related admin interfaces driving the day-to-day activities of the e-commerce giant.</li><li>I’ve been a keen open-source enthusiast since my undergrad days and this inclination of mine to give back to the fraternity led BigBasket to step into the open-source community with us recently open-sourcing the very first chunk of code from our tech infrastructure: a tiny react component written by me. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-green-text rich-link break-all link-break" href="https://github.com/BigBasket/ra-treemenu">https://github.com/BigBasket/ra-treemenu</a>. Though the component itself is not very significant, the primary intention was to lay down a cultural foundation in the organisation, which we were successful with.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Worked during the summer on a UNICEF funded mobile app called Jellow Communicator (AAC) under Industrial Design Centre (IDC), IIT Bombay, which aids children with speech impairment for effective communication using visual icons.</li><li>Studied language and behavioural patterns of kids suffering from speech impairment and used the same to visualise it on a dashboard. This usage data was recorded at a second-scale through their Jellow Communicator AAC app that is already being used by the kids' parents and caretakers to help them communicate. The visualised data then helped me work on a more optimised user-targeted algorithm, which made the app augmented in terms of language capabilities for them.</li><li>Also, remotely worked with the same team from August 2018 - December 2018 to implement additional visualisations and algorithms on large volumes of usage data collected by the app.</li></ul>
