Experience

Genapsys   -

 Software Engineer II

Sep 2019 - Present

• Building Genhub, a Cloud Platform for Next Generation Sequencing.

Karfarm   -

 Software Engineer (Internship)

Jun - Sep 2018

• Designed and implemented the database tables and relations for a real-time chat, as well as the backend SQL queries to retrieve data. I also worked on a team to implement the Pub-Sub messaging pattern that enabled messages to be sent in real time.
• Using Selenium Webdriver, I wrote a generic Python script that generically navigates 40 unique car dealership websites to scrape various specs. Then I integrated it with the server so that it periodically runs and updates a Postgres database.
• Worked closely with the UI/UX team to implement the design of several web pages using HTML,CSS, and Javascript.

Jun - Sep 2016

• Used Python with BeautifulSoup to extract commonly occurring car options/packages across many dealership websites. I used a similar technique applied to extracting salesperson reviews from multiple websites.
