Mumbai, India
- Developing an intelligent scheduling platform for high schools in the US with sophisticated drag-and-drop interface, enabling intuitive course and section management for administrators using React"
- Improved app performance by using React Dev Tools to treat for bottle-necks occurring in components
- Engineered a complex scheduling interface that enables administrators to visually assign teaching patterns across multiple days, handling real-time conflict validation, co-teaching assignments, and pattern completion verification while maintaining strict business logic for period selection and teacher availability
- Implemented an optimized tiling algorithm using a greedy placement strategy to visualize complex academic scheduling constraints, handling multiple days, terms, and staff availability patterns
- Sole contributor in designing and implementing a robust MongoDB transaction management solution by configuring local MongoDB replica set in Docker for consistent local and CI testing environments, integrating Motor for asynchronous MongoDB operations, and developing comprehensive unit tests to validate transaction integrity and error handling
- Added a DB level schema validation in MongoDB to ensure data integrity and prevent invalid data from being inserted

Skills
My Projects
Boardlia
Kanban Board Task Tracking App made using React, TypeScript and TailwindCSS. This project was made to practice Drag and Drop operations in Web Applications and was inspired by Project Management Applications like Trello, Asana and Notion.This project makes use of the react-dnd-library which aids in implementing Drag & Drop operations in React. Users can Login and add tasks and move them around in different columns with Drag and Drop. The implementation might seem simple but the code for doing to simplest operations when you are working with drag and drop, hover states becomes quite complex. In my opinion, any Front-End Developer or Full-Stack Developer should try making a project like this so they understand how Applications like Notion are made and how complex the architecture actually is. I've hence made the code open source so that developers can refer to it and see the implementation of complex drag and drop operations and take help of it.
Word Race
Typing Speed Game made using the MERN Stack in which users can Sign Up, Log in, save their scores and see the leaderboard and see user statistics like average score and number of games played. Mounting and Unmounting animations are done with the help on React-Transition-Group (Library for React Animations).I have used Express for the backend framework which makes creating REST API easier.There are 2 primary routes, one for Authorization, for User’s StatsI used JWT Token authentication system for implementing the auth part. The auth part is pretty standard which conists of simple GET and POST requests.The only significant part mentioning about the backend is the User Stats route to display average score, No. Of games played and Max Level as it required aggregation queries for the database
