Pranav Chaudhary
As a Full Stack Engineer with over 12 years of experience, I have developed expertise in a wide range of technologies including Java, React JS, TypeScript, Python, Spring, Android, CDK, AWS, SQL, NoSql and more. Throughout my career, I have worked with both B2B and B2C organizations to develop software applications that have impacted millions of customers worldwide. My passion for creating highly scalable and distributed systems using AWS Cloud has driven me to design and improve these applications. I have worked on creating highly distributed and scalable systems to secure customer hyper critical information. These systems will detect any security risk and create adequate alarm and take appropriate action to isolate the data to avoid any security incident. In order to provide a secure way to access these critical information, I have worked on creating client applications with various security controls. I have also successfully migrated monolithic systems to microservices to enhance the development and deployment experience while reducing time to production. I have created these applications to serve thousands of TPS and process trillions of messages daily. In addition to my technical skills, I am dedicated to mentoring my peers, junior engineers and interns to help them grow professionally. I am also a Senior Member of IEEE and Judge at various esteemed organization.
