What Others Say
"I have had the privilege of working with Romit, and his work ethic, creativity, and problem-solving skills are outstanding. He has a rare ability to take complex engineering challenges and break them down into clear, manageable components that are both practical and innovative."
Siddhant Mahajan
SDE at AWS, Prev Apple
"Romit is someone dedicated to finding the most efficient solution that's easy-to-understand. Even if he has to go out of his way to make it from scratch, all by himself."
Alexander Samaroo
App Consultant CIBC, Prev Ericsson
Highlighted Project: Public Library System
Project Overview
Most public libraries still maintain old systems that make it impossible to lend books to customers, renew books, or receive useful recommendations. The systems take a long time to process and are difficult to use and require a lot of human labor from staff.
Technical Deep Dive
Built with Next.js for its hybrid rendering, Tailwind CSS for rapid styling, and a .NET Core backend for authentication and database management. Then deployed using Kubernetes on my cloud server.
