About

Arpit Patel is a highly motivated software developer with in-depth knowledge of various languages and development tools. He is currently working as a Software Developer at siloho, where he has created a scalable module that can handle a large amount of data without a significant drop in response time. He used Elasticsearch as a database and Django as the backend of the module. Arpit has also created an API that searches the database for relevant results based on criteria pre-determined by the business team. He optimized the response time of the API with the help of Redis, a key-value cache database. Additionally, he created a "Product Addition" module which takes a URL as an input and scrapes the resulting webpage and stores the required information into the database. Arpit utilized this module to automatically add thousands of products into the database from partnered vendors like Pepperfry, Urbanladder, Asian Paints, etc. Arpit has also optimized the backend code and removed unnecessary database calls, improving the response times of several APIs. He has created a tool that acts as a "lightweight" version of the company's main product, which will process inputs faster but will be less accurate than the main product and can be easily scaled up to handle a growing user base. He extended the main product and the lightweight version by adding a feature that allows users to change wall colors and apply wallpapers. Before joining siloho, Arpit worked as a Software Developer at ultimateworld.io, where he created a basic CRUD app that lets users register, login, and perform tasks that are available to authenticated users only. He used Django and Django REST Framework to write the business logic and handle the backend of the application. Arpit has a Dual Degree - B.Tech + M.Tech 5 Yrs Programme in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He is proficient in various technologies such as Django, Python, Javascript, Redis, Elastic Search, SQL, Spring, Microservices, UI, and Frontend. Arpit is a skilled Software Engineer with relevant experience of 1.77 years and is seeking an opportunity in a growth-oriented company where he can use his skills to the advantage of the company while having the scope to develop his own skills.
