EXPERIENCE
Software Engineer
Deloitte USI
Bengaluru, India
Highlights:
- Delivered 20+ functionalities in the MERN Stack and increased code coverage by 35% through effective unit testing and Test Driven Development
- Optimised database queries to reduce response time by 54.7%
- Mentored 5 developers, resulting in their successful on-boarding
Research Intern (Machine Learning)
National University of Singapore
Singapore
Highlights:
- Spearheaded the development of multiple Machine Learning Workflows to distinguish DNS-over-HTTPs packets from encrypted web traffic
