About Sumeet Rohra

Picture this - the first time I watched Die Hard 4, I was so captivated by the hacker saga, I just knew my destiny was in keyboards, not Nakatomi towers. Off I went, leaping into the thrilling world of Computer Engineering, chasing bad guys in binaries and loops. My programming journey started with the classic C, then I strolled down Java lane, flirted with SQL, danced with Python and JavaScript, and dabbled in a little bit of everything else. I\'ve always had a penchant for conversation, so what\'s better than conversing with budding tech enthusiasts? I found myself in the classroom, decoding the matrix of programming to over 200 students in a year. After getting my degree, I spent some time in the labyrinth of Reliance Jio apps as an assistant manager, helping spot the bugs that were playing hide and seek in their OTT platform. It was a thrilling chase, but the engineering fire in me was still ablaze. So, off I went, donning the freelancer cape, contributing to open source like a tech superhero, and swooping in to solve remote contract dilemmas. My journey took me to Proximity Labs, where I helped ESPNCricinfo dust off its legacy website and give it a shiny, new NextJs outfit, catering to millions of cricket-crazy fans. Later, I switched gears to become the Lead Frontend Engineer at FlexTrade, transforming their product FlexNow into a sleek, browser-based avatar. I juggled millions of dollars worth of assets for a variety of clients from hedge funds to family funds, always ensuring a smooth landing. Now, you can find me at Kognitos as a Senior Frontend Engineer, where I\'m the wizard behind automations that replace tedious tasks with simple English instructions. It\'s like giving businesses a magic spell to increase productivity! But wait, there\'s more! I\'m also proudly donning the Ambassador cape at Alchemy, helping pave the way for eager minds into the exciting world of Web3. Together, we\'re demystifying the blockchain and creating the future. My tool belt: ReactJS, NodeJS, ExpressJS, MongoDB, SQL, Firebase, GraphQL. Come join me on this thrilling journey!
