Profile: https://flows.cv/parichay

I'm a passionate software engineer dedicated to crafting efficient, scalable, and innovative solutions with a special focus on speed and accuracy. I thrive on navigating complex challenges and transforming them into elegant solutions. 

I am a Software Engineering Systems graduate student at Northeastern University with 2.5 years of experience as a software and DevOps engineer. At "Hitwicket," my former workplace, I received the "Hitwicket Star Award" for improving the overall average API response time by 85%.

I am keenly interested in backend development and cloud computing and have deployed my own e-commerce application and multiplayer game.

I am looking for a position where I can encounter and resolve challenging issues daily and push beyond my current skill limits. My areas of expertise include TypeScript, JavaScript, NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB, ReactJS, Docker, Terraform, Packer, and Kubernetes.
