About Shrey Gera

I’ve always been fascinated by how technology can solve real-world problems. My journey into software engineering began at Punjab Engineering College, where I graduated with a degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2023. Since then, I’ve spent over 2 years honing my skills as a backend developer at STGI. Here, I’ve had the opportunity to work on impactful projects that challenge me to think critically and innovate daily. At STGI, I specialise in building RESTful APIs from scratch, ensuring they are not only functional but also scalable and efficient. I take pride in writing clean and maintainable code while collaborating closely with my Agile team members to deliver robust software solutions. One of my proudest moments was when I received the Dev Spotlight award by the iCTO of STGI for my proactive contributions, earning the title of \"The Enthusiast.\" I have also been responsible for reducing the size of a 10-million-character query to 2.3 million characters, cutting screen load time by 75%, and automated third-party service recovery using Django Celery, enabling seamless auto-retry of failed tasks when services were restored Before joining STGI, I gained valuable insights into product operations as an analyst at FabHotels. This experience taught me the importance of understanding user needs and aligning technical solutions with business goals—a perspective that continues to shape my approach as a developer today. Outside of work, I enjoy connecting with fellow enthusiasts and learn about emerging technologies which not only fuels my passion for coding but also allows me to give back by sharing knowledge with others.
