Bio
Varun is a passionate team member, I found him very committed, detail oriented and a dedicated professional who delivers on time and always welcomes changes during assignments. He also is inclined on always learning new things. He is a good asset.
It all started with a simple Skype message, Hi Varun... It truly has been a positive experience working with Varun on a complex, highly visible, and demanding web development project where he plays a key role as a technical consultant. He took the time to listen to my project and acquire a clear understanding while making recommendations. Varun's functional documentation & application design documentation were of impeccable quality. What you will find when engaging with Varun is his vast knowledge of numerous web application programs and backend end framework (coding) language. It is highly enlightening to find someone who is intelligent, honest, passionate about his work and his reputation. I have personally learned a lot and gained knowledge from him. He will be an invaluable asset to any group or company that he consults; I guarantee it!
Varun led a big project for us - to develop the TripAdvisor/Feefo for Language Travel - www.coursefinders.com. He is technically excellent, converses very well with both the business and the dev team and is great to work with. We launched in October 2013 and then continually enhanced the site. The project, as many do, started from a simple vision then became increasingly complex. The challenge was to deliver a site that was simple to use, fast and had sophisticated functionality with social sign-in, sharing and a sophisticated Google Maps implementation. Varun led the team and delivered. He is excellent in communicating with the business side and in coaching and managing the development team. Well done Varun for an excellent job. I would highly recommend Varun to anyone wanting to build a business online!

Every microsecond count - when your app is installed by thousands of stores. Imagine a black Friday deal giving about 600 hooks per seconds. This is what we deal here!My responsibility is to make sure we win in technology. I helped setting up the company's foundation by creating 5 Shopify applications installed by more than 2000 stores. I was the only one who coded a framework to communicate with Shopify which automatically takes care of Shopify limits and load balancing issues. I only worked in Backend because it was the most exciting thing to do! Each app had its' technical challenges overlapping just the communication part with Shopify. Luckily (or unluckily) it was a progressive problem. Thus, I had an opportunity to resolve everything by myself, and I LOVED IT!Later, I started hiring freelancers. My responsibilities then shifted to manage freelancers who would just ensure that everything is going great and make few changes to the app. Now we have a team who is working on more exciting projects under my watch!Worth mentioning "One Man Army" contributions:A framework that renders YML (Plain English) to interact with ShopifyA custom queue to dismiss similar webhooks by ShopifyAn Algo to handle webhooks 700% more efficient than default FIFO.Little about our tech-stack: We like to solve things with whatever tools possible and thus you will see a lot of things are used - ansible, php, laravel, mysql, maxscale, proxysql, redis, twemproxy, golang, iris, node, express, docker, prometheus, grafana etc. Thus, this is the company where you will become a true technocrat.

I implemented m.naukri.com - a mobile version of Naukri using Yahoo Blueprints. This was the start of mobile apps. Later I was shifted to a mode "fix everything worth fixing" As a result I fixed a vulnerability allowing to send unlimited mobile SMS from download on mobile link, wrote an efficient script which would read GBs of log every day and find out potential data unwanted crawlers and block their IPs.

The first few days I met with few clients listing out their requirements and trying to understand what they want. Then I used HTML, CSS, jQuery to design the static websites for them. I used to have meetings with them on regular basis and would make changes depending on their requirements. This increased my understanding and reduced the difference between what I think client's might need and what they actually need. This became the foundation of what I will become in next few years.
