Prafful Javare

Hi! I am Prafful, a student from Mumbai. I am interested in software development and I have mostly worked in backend development. Other than that I also have a knack for competitive programming and algorithms, with a top rating of 1831 (4 stars) on the competitive programming platform, Codechef. We recently participated in the Gwalior-Pune onsite round of the ICPC and secured a rank of 85 among 140 teams.

The most interesting project I had an opportunity to work on was when I was interning at Netmeds from June-July 2019. I was told to improve the customer experience of ordering medicines which took several clicks and document uploads. Currently, the system that is in production has been developed by me and facilitates one-click medicine order from a virtual prescription prescribed through an online consultation.

I also had the opportunity to work on a project from AICTE for the Smart India Hackathon 2019, India's largest hackathon. Our project was about tracking the availability of different officers in the head office of AICTE. For that, we used a progressive web application (PWA) to make it platform-independent and still be able to deliver a native app experience. We bagged a prize of Rs. 75000 as winners for that problem statement.

At ETHIndia 2019, an interesting problem was posed by the sponsors (Kyber Network), which stated that there is a lot of slip when we swap large amounts of tokens. To reduce that, smaller transactions need to be made but the exact amount of the splits is tough to deduce manually. Using dynamic programming, we solved this problem of giving the optimal split amounts which saved tens of dollars on considerable amounts.

I also had the opportunity of interning as a backend developer at a Singapore-based startup called OsmosisLearn. My work there includes AWS, OAuth, and Elasticsearch. My favourite task there was to implement a good search feature on their platform, which had a lot of dependencies and went through many revisions before being released to production.

My team also won the HAC (hack against covid) hackathon in August 2020. Our project is a simple yet effective solution to automate the task of taking attendance in online lectures taken over Zoom.

Currently working as a Software Engineer at Google, where my tech stack is dart,java, python, CPP.
