Experience

Product Engineer

Thinkerbell Labs

Was part of a small but effective three member software team. Responsible for a lot of major improvements in existing codebase as well as new implementations/products.

My work was mostly on Annie, an all-in-one Braille dicta reader(their flagship device) and Chakravyuh, a COVID monitoring tool(winner of CAWACH grant).

September 2019 - December 2020

Software Engineer

BioP India

Was the sole developer of the application to interact with the Bio 3D printer.

Away from August 18 - June 19. Unfortunately the team disbanded later.

July 2018 - November 2019

Software Intern

Phostagram(now known as Flam)

Designed and implemented their preliminary targeted advertising recommendation system

January 2017 - May 2017
