Started Bsc in computer science for University of Texas at Arlington.
In August 2020, as I enthusiastically geared up to start my bachelor's journey at the University of Texas at Arlington, Mother Nature tossed a global-sized curveball called COVID-19, leading to an unexpected plot twist. So, instead of strolling through the campus grounds, brimming with the excitement of new beginnings, I found myself navigating the hallowed virtual halls of academia from my bedroom in India.
Attending online lectures across time zones had its quirks; my nocturnal owl tendencies finally found a purpose beyond late-night snacks and binge-watching. Balancing a cup of chai in one hand while deciphering complex algorithms became my new party trick. And who knew my keyboard skills would level up thanks to the rapid-fire participation in class discussions (and the occasional 'your mic is muted' fiasco)?

Moved to Arlington, Texas.
In January 2021, I swapped the lively streets of New Delhi for the vast Texan landscapes as I moved to the University of Texas at Arlington. The transition was as swift as it was exciting—exchanging home-cooked meals for barbecue feasts, and traditional greetings for a casual 'Howdy!' Settling into the Texan way of life was a brisk walk rather than a full-on sprint, and I navigated the change with an open mind and an eagerness to dive into my studies and campus life. Here's to new beginnings and embracing everything Texas has to offer!

Software Engineering Intern at Amazon
Project Development
During my tenure as a Software Engineering Intern at Amazon in Palo Alto, California, I focused on developing an AWS-based automated validation service for Amazon Ads. By utilizing Java, I contributed to the scalability of the third-party script testing platform, enhancing its capability to handle a larger volume and variety of ad scripts.

I played a pivotal role in streamlining the ad script ingestion process. By automating previously manual workflows, I boosted the team's productivity by 40%. This not only expedited processes but also significantly reduced the workload for on-call engineers, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks.
Innovation in Testing
I pioneered the implementation of an automated ad testing service using Selenium, which was hosted on AWS Lambda. This innovation was a game-changer, slashing the ad script testing time from 2 days to a mere 30 minutes. This dramatic reduction in testing duration enabled a faster ad deployment cycle, thereby accelerating the go-to-market strategy for ads across Amazon's global marketplace.
Impact on Deployment
The automated services I developed and implemented had a tangible impact on Amazon Ads' deployment process. By reducing dependencies on manual interventions and lengthy testing times, the solutions I provided allowed for quicker iterations and a more agile response to market needs, aligning with Amazon's customer-centric philosophy.
