About Vinod Sharma

I am an innovative software engineer with an MS in Computer Science (Software & Systems Development) from DePaul University (June 2025). In my current role as a Graduate Assistant, I developed a centralized resource‑management platform serving 200+ university employees—reducing project access time by 40%—and architected a Node.js/Spring Boot microservices ecosystem that delivers 99.9% uptime and 60% faster queries through MongoDB and PostgreSQL integration. Prior to that, as a Software Engineer at DePaul, I optimized server infrastructure with Nginx load balancing to boost throughput by 40% and cut response times by 60%. Skilled in Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, React.js, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and CI/CD (GitHub Actions), I’ve built real‑time data‑visualization interfaces and full‑stack applications that scale. I redesigned my department’s website and internal portal—achieving 50% faster page loads and a 30% uptick in user engagement—and implemented an automated pipeline that slashed deployments from two hours to 15 minutes with 95% test coverage. I’m passionate about microservices architecture, performance tuning, and DevOps automation. I’m pursuing my AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (expected May 2025) and regularly contribute to open‑source libraries focused on API security and efficiency, as well as write technical articles on best practices. I’m currently seeking full‑stack or backend engineering roles where I can apply my cloud, microservices, and DevOps expertise to drive real‑world impact.
