Gaurav Parulekar

My name is Gaurav Yashwant Parulekar, and I recently graduated with a BTech in Information Technology from Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, Mumbai. I possess proficiency in a variety of programming languages, including JavaScript, Java, and Python, along with expertise in frameworks such as ReactJS, NextJS, ExpressJS, and NodeJS.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have actively participated in diverse projects where I played a pivotal role in database design and the development of web applications. I thrive on challenges and am enthusiastic about projects that push me beyond my comfort zone.

Presently, I am employed as a Graduate Analyst at Barclays, where I continue to hone my skills and contribute to impactful initiatives. Prior to this role, I completed a rigorous 6-month Software Development Engineer (Frontend) internship at Gupshup Technology, a prominent Indian unicorn startup.

An achievement I'm particularly proud of is winning the prestigious CodeForGood (CFG) national-level hackathon organised by JPMC, which not only showcased my technical prowess but also my ability to collaborate effectively within the team
