Ritik Kumar

I’m a 4th Year Senior undergraduate from Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. I am a Backend Developer interested in Computer networks.

I was Google Summer of Code Student Developer 2019 for NDN (Named Data Network) and worked on NpChat, a peer to peer decentralised media sharing application based on NDN for Android. I had interned with Microsoft India, where I worked on their new EDGE (Anaheim) browser-based on Chromium. Recently, I interned at Fampay as a Backend Engineer. I have also contributed to some open-sourced projects. I have also developed and maintained a few widely used apps for the campus.

I am mostly building cool stuff, usually around Linux messing with configs or fixing some issues in web servers hosted on AWS. I have developed a number of applications for the campus community as well.
