Hello everyone, I have been working in the CS industry for ~10 years. I have mainly been working on back-end and research oriented projects involving image processing. If you are looking for understanding how computers work at a deep level (as far as assembly), or want to know how big tech companies (such as Amazon) scale their projects, then I have knowledge to share with you!
Passionate and experienced web & mobile developer and software engineer with 7+ years of development & business career.
I have worked on the machine learning and big data projects. Helped organisations to build models, data science pipelines and scaling them in different environments which are running in java, Scala, python and Hadoop ecosystem. I have also worked on micro-service and REST based architectures to build systems to handle millions of requests. For Codementor users. Best way to confirm time with me is having a confirmed session booked. There are many ad-hoc requests or last minute stuff people approach for, it does get difficult to allocate time to everyone. Last thing, please don't miss your booked sessions or pre-commited timings, I usually stay away from requests where someone disregards my time commitments.
