EXPERIENCE
Software Engineer - LTIMindtree                                                                     Nov 2020 - July 2022
● Constructed Java modules for user authentication and access management in a banking application, combining with
  IBM's LDAP for user management. Executed robust security measures following Agile practices to efficiently handle user
  data and access rights, ensuring protection of sensitive financial operations.
● Optimized performance of the Synchronizer batch process by 17% through refactoring inefficient loops, implementing
  connection pooling, and leveraging Java 8 streams. Enhanced efficiency in handling high volumes of user data
  synchronization across multiple systems, resulting in better responsiveness and boosted user experience.
● Migrated entire codebase from Java 6 to Java 8, adopting current standards for increased performance and security.
  Developed and maintained RESTful APIs using Spring Boot, ensuring data consistency.
Application Developer - NSS VIIT | Apprenticeship                                                  Mar 2019 - Apr 2020
● Led a team of 4 in developing a full-stack web app for National Service Scheme, resulting in reduction of proxy
  attendance and a 25% increase in member engagement. Focused on backend development using Java and Spring Boot,
  designing RESTful APIs and implementing a MySQL database with 10 tables for efficient data storage.
● Accomplished key features such as attendance tracking, 200+ member management, event notifications, digital notepad,
  and a feedback system. Utilized Spring Security for robust authentication and authorization, ensuring the security and
  integrity of the application, which contributed to maintaining a reliable and stable system.
PROJECTS
Old-Textbooks Management Web-app - Spring boot, Java, Rest APIs, NoSQL
● Developed a web-based Java Application using Spring Boot and Atlas MongoDB, enabling cost-effective buying and
   selling of textbooks with a 10% price depreciation at each transaction.
● Designed and wrote RESTful APIs for inventory display, book purchase, and book selling, contributing to project's
   success in addressing high cost of textbooks for students.
Parkinson’s Disease severity prediction - Machine Learning, Python
● Engineered an innovative Android application utilizing state-of-the-art deep learning techniques, particularly Artificial
   Neural Networks (ANN), for real-time Parkinson's Disease (PD) severity prediction. Devised a robust data pipeline to
   extract and preprocess 16 crucial voice parameters from patient recordings, allowing for efficient feature engineering and
   model input. Utilized Python.
● Drove significant enhancement in model accuracy by employing a carefully designed ANN architecture that excelled at
   capturing intricate patterns within voice data. Achieved about 73 % of accuracy.
