To start with, I love building applications and every aspect of it. Right from the inception where the application is still an idea or a solution to a problem or at times, a non solution to a non problem, visualising it to be a full fledged application used by everyone on the planet, to designing the solution and actually building the application, I love every bit of it! Software development, thus, is beyond profession for me, and is more of an obsession. Since I started my career, I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of technologies ranging from Java, Python, Springboot, Angular, React, Flutter, Scala, Docker, and AWS in domains like Telecom, Banking, and Insurance. With the ever evolving technologies in Software Development, I've also had the privilege to work on the three pillars of software architecture - Monoliths, Microservices, and Serverless. Currently, in my role as a Tech Lead, my responsibilities spread across Solution Architecture, Backend Development, and Cloud Architecture. My go to language and framework for backend development remains to be Java and Springboot with not so occasional stints in Python. I have also been working elaborately with AWS and docker and have a pretty good hands-on experience with it. I lead a team that comprises of some of the best Backend, Frontend, and DevOps Engineers. And over the course of 15 months, we have delivered Bank Of Ireland's digital insurance platform, New Ireland's Broker application which was one of the first Serverless Applications delivered to a financial institution in Ireland, and Arachas' digital insurance platform. I live by the motto "Learn, Build, Deploy" and thus in my free time, you would most likely see me learning something new - a coding language, a framework, an architecture pattern, a new tool for DevOps or automation or just solving a competitive programming challenge. I hope to be able to help other fellow developers or enthusiasts upskill or establish themselves in the industry through one on one help or through my blogs or workshops. In the rare occasion when I am not with my laptop, you would mostly find me in the park with my dog. Look forward to connect with you! ## Responses 4 Markdown supported ยท โŒ˜โ†ต to post [Piyush Garg](https://hashnode.com/@piyushgarg) [Aug 14, 2021](https://hashnode.com/posts/build-your-first-serverless-application/603ac8970dad7e6b99e20443/comment/61176d54e9f08a51fd85f554) Hey there, Nice Post. I made an npm package for handling AWS Lambda responses. Do checkout ๐Ÿ˜Ž AWS-TS This package lets you handle and send responses from AWS lambda with ease. You have the ability to send various types of responses such as JSON or Plain Text without worrying about headers and status codes. You can also enable or disable cors for all or specific responses or set custom headers. ๐Ÿš€ [https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-ts](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-ts) [Animesh Pandey](https://hashnode.com/@anmshpndy) [Mar 1, 2021](https://hashnode.com/posts/build-your-first-serverless-application/603ac8970dad7e6b99e20443/comment/603cb8b1b645547d6beaa9f5) Amazing work!
