ABOUT KAPIL YADAV

This is the part where ChatGPT gives you the clean, recruiter-friendly version of who I am.\"Driven problem-solver and dual-degree student at IIT Madras (B.S. in Data Science) and UIET, Panjab University (B.E. in ECE), passionate about building scalable tech products that solve real-world problems. I thrive at the intersection of software engineering, data systems, and user experience. Core competencies encompass Languages: JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, SQL, Motoko, Java Frameworks: React.js, Vue.js, Express.js, Flask, Next.js Databases: PostgreSQL, SQLite, MongoDB Tools: Redis, Celery, Prisma, Figma, Flask-RESTful, Tailwind CSS, Chart.js, SQLAlchemy, Jinja2, REST APIs, JWT, OAuth Cloud: Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, GitHub Actions Highlights: ICP BlockBash-winning dApp (Web3, Motoko) ‍ Selected AMEX Discovery Program mentee (among 150 all over India) Built Kwizzy, a full-stack quiz platform with RBAC, analytics, async background jobs (email/CSV), and payments—in 15 days (~140 hours) Frontend finesse meets backend muscle, all shipped to prod.\" “Driven problem-solver”, “thrive at the intersection” wow, look at all those buzzwords. I sound incredibly employable. Thanks, ChatGPT. Now that the buzzword quota’s met, here’s the real version: I\'m a student juggling two degrees (because apparently one wasn’t headache enough) who genuinely enjoys making computers do useful and occasionally just cool things. I love crafting clean, aesthetic UIs backed by robust backends. And since no one’s impressed by a pretty app stuck on localhost, I picked up some cloud skills too. I’m pretty sure \"scalable\" is my middle name. After all, how hard can it be? Just spin up another machine.(Sure, there are a few nuances, but you get the point.) That Kwizzy app? Yeah, those 15 days involved a lot of chai and questionable amount of sleep. Hackathons are fun, but they mostly run on teamwork, panic, and stubbornness to not give up. Web3? One day I was attending a session; the next I was on a flight to BLR, pitching at India Blockchain Week (you can read more about it on my portfolio site). To touch some grass (literally and metaphorically), I dance and play football. It keeps me in shape, full of energy and reminds me that the best solutions often show up when you’re not thinking about code at all. Currently looking to join a team where I can do serious work, without taking myself too seriously. Feel free to connect if you want to collaborate, ask questions or just say hi. I promise a human (not AI) will respond :)
