About Shonali S.

Since my introduction to Computer Science, I have always been enthralled by how pure and simple logic could be used to create programs that performed some of the most difficult calculations within seconds. My profound interest in the subject then enabled me to pursue a Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science​ ​from​ ​Thapar​ ​University. At Casstle (an e-commerce company with a subscription-based rental model), I got to own entire features from analysis, and design to development, testing, and finally putting projects into production. I have had client-side ownership of the various modules in which I have achieved designs that delivered excellent​ ​performance​ ​because​ ​of​ ​a​ ​functional​ ​and​ ​optimized​ ​code. Besides, in the backend, I have developed over 5 APIs for 6+ tenants at Caastle which offered minimum latency. In order to ensure the maintainability of modules, I have written unit tests and API integration tests for the same. At Ixigo, I had developed the UI and backend for the in-house chatbot that handled around conversations per day. I juggled multiple roles including software architect, frontend and backend for the project. I also created the internal tool which the Customer Service representatives used to enquire booking related information. At Rubrik, I successfully onboarded multiple snappables (Cassandra, MongoDB, AHV, AWS S3) into Rubrik Security Cloud and Luna (AHV, Hyper-V, MV), while implementing key features like sonar previewer. I led platformization efforts for snappables, developing reusable components and solutions that reduced AWS snappable onboarding time by 60%. I served as the primary UI expert in DB snappable area, mentoring developers, senior engineers, and interns I also enhanced infrastructure through test coverage integration, feature flag framework, and Playwright testing, while contributing to Gen AI projects. I have experience working with two organizations that went public during my tenure. Also, I have a strong grip on Data Structures and Algorithms. Besides being an individual contributor, I have strong leadership and management qualities which have been demonstrated by leadership roles at various societies at Thapar and by being the leader of the organizing committees at my workplaces.
