Leading the effort for launching a digital health study app for neurological disorders in the Consumer Health Research team.

• Reduced feasibility-testing time from a week to less than a day and feasibility-testing costs to $0 per study by designing a mockable HTTP Client layer to remove dependency on the GCP backend for feasibility testing.

• Designed a library for the digital health study flutter app that acts as a bridge between designers and engineers. The library also provides a design language for easy brand-theme switching for the app.

• Deployed backend services and CI/CD pipelines using GCP, GKE (Kubernetes), terraform, VPC networks and CloudBuild.

Improved developer experience, feature velocity & test infrastructure for GPay team.

• Led the design and development of simulators for GPay that:

  • Are omnipresent across the test-infrastructure ecosystem in GPay.
  • Simulated multiple payment-methods & protocols across payment infrastructure of multiple countries.

• Setup a devices lab that supported test-automation for the GPay iOS app on multiple devices and iOS versions, and allowed non-indian devs to test the GPay app remotely.

• Designed a json encoder-decoder library that supported self-documenting implementation of HTTP request/response specs for frontend-servers.

Designed and developed iOS and MacOS utility and productivity apps using Swift, Objective-C and AppleScript. Details in Projects section.

• Two of my products, Exporter and Falcon, were featured on ProductHunt and everything-Apple magazines and blogs (cultofmac, ifun.de, lifehacker)
• Multiple note-taking apps (Standard Notes, Noteplan), advertise Exporter as the go-to solution for exporting data from Apple Notes.

• Designed and developed Liquid Template Parser, inbuilt Text-Editor and AWS framework for Statiked 1.2, a static blogging app for macOS.
• Designed and developed mobile clients (iOS and Android apps interacting with hardware devices & iOS app interacting with backend APIs) for Obolok, a location aware lock.

Exporter helps MacOS users to export notes from Apple Notes app as markdown/HTML files. Developed using AppleScript & Swift. Supports exporting notes containing non-Latin characters, which wasn't available in previous solutions.

A typewriter-style text editor for MacOS that provides a distraction-free writing environment.

Markdown based note-taking app for MacOS & iOS that provides clean interface for read-write operations. Provides live preview for markdown content. Completely plain-text based storage for notes.

An iOS and Android app that helps coders keep track of live and upcoming coding contests on sites like HackerRank, CodeChef, TopCoder, and CodeForces.
