Profile: https://flows.cv/arnavmalhotra

Currently, I'm very confident in my JavaScript skills (both server-side with Node.js as well as with client-side JavaScript as well). I've utilized several different frameworks, from jQuery to React.js with vanilla JS, and have also designed microservices with Express with Node.js. Apart from programming, I also have experience with tools such as Nginx, Docker, and AWS, doing custom deployments, and configuring Cloudflare as a DNS registrar.

### Frontend Engineer Intern @ Precize Inc
Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | San Jose, California, United States

### Chief Executive Officer @ Nyte Software
Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area
During high school, I spent most of my free time writing code and working on personal projects, most of which were in a niche community which desired products that automatically purchased products that normally sold out within seconds of going live, and reselling them for a profit. I worked with a team of friends to develop a cross-platform desktop application with a user interface and back-end to allow users to easily purchase any limited goods they wanted. The business we created ended up being successful enough that my parents allowed me to take a gap year to pursue the idea even further.

My general responsibilities included:
- Managing a team of engineers
- Making critical business decisions such as who to hire and where to direct resources
- Interfacing with and providing support for various customers

My development responsibilities included:
- Leading development of the back-end (Golang, gRPC)
- Leading development of the user interface (React.js & TypeScript)
- Leading development of all micro-services (AWS, Kubernetes, Golang)
- Deploy & create schemas for data in a database (PostgreSQL on AWS RDS)
- Scaling product and related services to >5000 registered users
- Integrating various third-party services
  - ReCaptcha to prevent bot accounts from registering
  - ConfigCat for remote configurations for micro-services and clients
  - DataDog for collecting logs and metrics regarding product usage and micro-service statuses
  - GitHub Actions for automatic CI/CD
  - ...and much more!

Working on Nyte taught me much more than I expected, primarily due to the several types of hats I wore. One day I would be doing customer support, the next I'd be deploying a new micro-service.

I eventually had to close the business due to a family situation, however both me and the people I worked with gained real-world experience of developing and maintaining a complex product with real customers.

### Intern @ Cradlepoint
Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area
At Cradlepoint, I worked on internal systems. I designed an API in Node.js, and deployed it on AWS, using Docker. My API utilized MongoDB and Express.js, as well as other modules for metrics and logging.
