Challenges Faced In Career
I began my career working with ActionScript, Flash, and RTMP-based streaming applications. After two years, these technologies were phased out globally. I embraced this challenge and successfully transitioned to WebRTC, WebSocket, and JavaScript-based real-time application development.
After my first company, I joined a US-based organization as a remote L1 Technical Engineer, collaborating with team members distributed across different global locations. Despite the geographical diversity, I was able to coordinate effectively, stay aligned with the team, and deliver strong results. During my five years with the organization, I made significant contributions that positively impacted the product.
In 2024, I transitioned into the fintech domain, working closely with major banks and NBFCs in India to design, develop, and deploy highly secure Video KYC and digital onboarding solutions. Although this was a completely new domain for me, I adapted quickly and delivered excellent performance, contributing to secure, scalable, and compliant systems.
