SDE - 2

I am Shagun Sharma, an SDE-2 currently working at Loti Ai, based in Seattle, USA. I have over 2 years of experience in designing user-friendly UIs and scaling backends to handle millions of users per month. I have worked on managing 3-5 full-stack projects, including DevOps, at the same time. Currently, I am working on providing scalable solutions to scrape 20-40 million data points per day from various platforms. I am also preparing for the AWS CCP certification. My goal for the next year is to upskill and expand my knowledge in different web and app development technologies.
