Hi,
I'mArvind Narayan
Senior Engineer
I’m an engineer with six years in backend and frontend development, wrangling code and leading teams to build cool stuff. I’ve turbocharged upGrad’s Learning Management System and revived Yahoo’s ad builder, making them all shiny and user-friendly. At Egen, I’m cooking up API magic and streamlining operations. My toolkit includes Node, React.JS, Python, and AWS, but I’m always game for whatever tech stack your project needs. When I’m not deep in code at work, I’m on the lookout for fun freelance gigs. Need a tech lead or a quick, crafty solution? I’m your guy, bringing skills and a sprinkle of humor to the table.
