About Kishan Dasondhi

I am a seasoned software engineer with a wealth of expertise spanning five years, encompassing both corporate and freelance environments. With a primary focus on system design, the software development life cycle, and backend development, my journey has been marked by impactful contributions and leadership.In my corporate tenure of three years, I led and mentored a dynamic team of engineers to successfully develop AI-based software products, to directly contribute to the increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR). My role extended beyond development, as I crafted coding guidelines, designed robust architectures, and generated comprehensive documentation to ensure efficient maintenance. I have a proven track record of revitalizing legacy code and identifying and optimizing bugs for a speed boost in software operations.Proficient in Backend development through Python. I have worked on my projects utilizing FastAPI, Flask, MongoDB, MySQL, JWT and integrating various services, including Analytics, SMTP, and Amazon S3, and many more. My expertise extends into incorporating advanced deep learning pipelines seamlessly, orchestrating the entire lifecycle of image data preprocessing, model training, and validation.Additionally, I have done things like optimizing database queries to increase the performance of software and automating environment setups and cloud application deployments on AWS EC2 instances using efficient shell scripts, reducing deployment time.I conducted interviews for backend engineers, played a key role in defining software release strategies, and contributed to the creation of SOPs and benchmarking. Beyond traditional software engineering, I showcased versatility by programming Raspberry Pi 4B and Arduino Uno microcontrollers using Python for data collection and actuation through various sensors. Engaging in projects of varying sizes and scales, including a significant one for a British telecom and mass media giant.My commitment to continuous learning is evident in my exploration of machine learning, where I implemented supervised learning algorithms like Linear Regression and SVM from scratch in Python.Armed with a Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, I am passionate about problem-solving and designing innovative solutions. My enthusiasm for exploring the latest technologies and tools drives my commitment to ongoing professional development and learning.Please feel free to connect with me to discuss potential collaboration opportunities or to learn more about my experience.
