Currently, I'm leading backend engineering team at WotNot.io, which is no-code chatbot platform. Revolutionizing conversation engineering with the latest and greatest of python, node, and nosql db. Making sure of reliability of containerised microservices on top of kubernetes cluster. I'm a seasoned technical lead with the vast experience in building quick prototypes and testing technologies for long term vision.

I've worked on the cryptocurrency exchange platform which is built on top of flask.
No fiat currencies in this one. On top of that I'm trying to bring Blockchain revolution in my organisation. To do that I'm working on small POCs and educating our existing team on Ethereum technology. In the mean time, I'm leading a team to build crypto payment system, that accepts bitcoin altcoins and ERC20 tokens.

I take talks on Blockchain, GIT, Docker and other latest trends at my organisation. Currently, giving python training in my organisation.

I participated Ethereum hackathon organised by EthIndia 1.0 and hacked together a decentralised application on top of Ethereum using embark framework.

I had attended Google Developers Days few years back in Bangalore. I had also participated in Gujarat's
first ever hackathon here in Ahmedabad, that took place in December 2015.

The most proud thing I ever did was open-source contribution in djano-oscar library.
While working on the E-commerce project I had faced an issue of passing request object in the
order processing. So, I fixed it and opened PR for the same. Core contributors picked it up and
fine-tuned my fix. I have some google-maps demos on my github that has helped few to jump-start
with directions API.

Experimented with golang last year to get a taste of concurrency it provides. This year I partake Rust programming language, to build command line tools.

I had also worked on the payment gateway middleware. Which provides payment solutions for
the middle east countries. All payment gateways can scale horizontally. It has some cool features that drives out latest social trends. I did some meta-programming in the same project.

During my five years of career I mostly worked on the Django, Django REST, Flask and have achieved full-stack
capability by participating in all parts of development. Also, being the part of startup, I learned a great deal of bringing business and seeing through it hitting the desired market. I had worked on numerous E-commerce projects using django-oscar and django-CMS using the cookiecutter startup kits.

I had worked on globally accpted MOOC platform OPEN-EDX. Developed some Xblocks and made them
available on the github.
