About
Hello, I’m Rakesh.
With years of specialized experience in backend and API development, my toolkit includes technologies such as Ruby/Rails, Java/Scala, Python, NodeJS, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS.
Currently, I serve as an engineering lead at a prominent IT service firm, where I lead teams in delivering innovative solutions. Ruby and JavaScript are my preferred programming languages, and I thrive on problem-solving, regardless of my job title.
I’m driven by a love for building new things, particularly in the early stages of software product prototyping. I take pride in crafting simple, clean, and modular code that adds tangible value to customers and streamlines workflows for my colleagues. Automating mundane tasks is my forte.
One of my favorite prototyping methods is paper prototyping, a quick and effective tool for gathering feedback. I’ve utilized this method extensively, both in large corporations and bootstrapped startups, finding it invaluable for rapid collaboration and iteration.
Throughout my career, I’ve contributed as a core engineer across various industries, including enterprise software, e-commerce, marketing, analytics, education, and CRM. In addition to technical expertise, I possess a skill in deciphering and improving legacy code—diving into complex systems to enhance functionality and maintainability.
