Stanford University, Stanford

My goal at Stanford is to formalise my varied leadership and entrepreneurial experiences - required to build products at scale and guide teams to that end.

Some of the courses that I'm taking to help me achieve this goal are: Product Management, Intelligent Growth in Startups, Global Marketing, Strategy in Tech-Based Companies. I'm also studying AI through courses like Fundamentals of Data Science (Prediction, Inference, and Causality), Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Spoken Language Processing et. al.; my ideal work will be at the intersection of AI and Product. At Stanford, I was honored to have been selected for the Threshold Ventures Fellowship, awarded to a cohort of 12 students from Stanford School of Engineering. When not occupied with classes or Threshold meetings, you can find me at Raagapella practice. Raagapella is Stanford's South Asian fusion a capella group, for which I am an alto. I'm so honored to have represented Stanford at Mehfil, University of Southern California and Awaazein, Univeristy of Texas at Dallas this year.

Tinystep

A Flipkart funded startup, Tinystep helps parents through the difficult journey of parenthood. Tinystep's app and website provide information on how to get pregnant, pregnancy symptoms, ovulation calculations, parenting and child care, a forum for advice, a support network, access to service providers and pretty much everything under the sun pertaining to parenting. Tinystep has more than 400,000+ parents on the app and more than 1M website visitors, so a lot of tech work involved making the systems optimised and scalable.

I built a bunch of things while at Tinystep for both the app, and the website, most importantly - the P2P market platform, the entire newsfeed - similar to Facebook (posts, comments, hashtags, blogs, polls, tagging, photos and videos), Q&A forum, microinteractions, login + auth framework, notifications framework, deeplink controller - tinystep URI parser and router, gamification framework (levels, badges, gamified initiation for each feature), the entire FTUE system, parenting tools (parenting daily tracker, pregnancy tracker, vaccinations tracker, growth-charts tracker) et al. I also worked on the Tinystep Seller App for service providers.

Amazon

Amazon Video is an Internet video on demand service that is developed, owned, and operated by Amazon. It offers television shows and films for rent or purchase. Launched on September 7, 2006, the service with its expanding library, and added the Prime Video membership with the development of Prime. It was then named Amazon Instant Video on Demand.

My project was to build an infrastructure management toolkit and API for Amazon Instant Video. This included building a UI based styling tool to obviate spending hours making style changes on the application, a tweening library and a framework shift to Freemarker. The tool automated template creation which mimicked server side style values based on DOM and CSS modification on the client side.

The toolkit also involved generating the server side template using the Java template engine, Freemarker. This included JSON Schema validation and accuracy testing through automated extrapolation.

XentaQysys

XentaQsys Technologies Pvt. Ltd. was formed in 2004 as a strategic alliance with Xentasystems GmbH from Germany. XentaQsys works on structuring, continuous optimization, integration and operations of IT systems, under three verticals - turnkey IT infrastructure, customized applications and end-to-end eLearning solutions on mobile.

During my two month internship which I started as an Android novice, I built a University's mobile portal as part of XentaQsys's eLearning wing. The app acted as a mediator between the admin staff and students. I built a realtime event notification system which also gathered student and college-events responses for the admin to collect in the college database and build an analytics system around. Admin-login allowed access to a dashboard with analytics based on student cohorts.
