Akash Ghosh

Seasoned Senior Software Developer based in Bangalore, India, with extensive experience in designing, developing, and optimizing REST APIs, databases, and backend systems. Solid foundation in Node.js, JavaScript, Express.js, NoSQL, MongoDB, SQL, Java, AWS, and system design. Made significant contributions to the tech industry through roles at InCred Money (FinTech) and Zoho Corporation (SaaS).

I've started working on a project (https://github.com/imagh/api.pets.be) using NestJs, TypeScript, MongoDB, and Mongoose. The backend architecture follows a layered approach, including modules such as auth, controllers, validators, transformers, services, and data. While the project is currently being developed as a monolithic application due to bandwidth constraints, it's being designed with modularity in mind, making it easier to transition to a microservices architecture when needed. I've completed the initial database layer sketch and implemented the user, animal, and JWT-based OAuth2 authentication modules, supporting two roles: admin and user.

The motivation for this project stems from the lack of integrated services in the veterinary sector. Existing solutions are fragmented and challenging to locate or evaluate. My goal is to create an aggregator platform that consolidates all services and products in this space, complemented by an online store and a community. Planned services include Doctors, Clinics, Chemists & Druggists, Ambulance, Taxis, Drivers, Grooming, and more.

This project is my contribution to advancing the veterinary space in India, providing a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for both providers and pet owners. Additionally, it serves as an opportunity for me to deepen my expertise in NestJs and TypeScript. As a dedicated coder, I am committed to writing clean, well-architected, efficient, and maintainable code, viewing software development as a craft. This project is a personal passion and a dream that I hope will make a positive impact on society.
