A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Gaurav and I'm an aspiring software engineer.
I have just completed my final year studying at the University of Toronto. I will graduate with an Honours Bachelor of Science with a specialization in Computer Science. For my professional experience year of co-op, I worked as a Software Engineer at AMD. My experience working at AMD has brought out the best of my work ethic. I have developed my skills in professional communication and expert problem solving from working at AMD. After finishing my time at AMD, I was awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the AMD University Relations Team. If you would like to read a recommendation from my manager, please visit my Linkedin page. For a software engineer, there is always more to learn. For example, I created a React Native Android app called SpeechSweep which is in the process of being published to Google's Play Store.

Brain Mapper!
Start Rules

How to Play

  1. Guess the country by only looking at its outline.
    The outline is not to scale.

  2. You can use the 3 hints provided, however each hint will lower the points you earn from a correct answer by 1. You earn 4 points with no hints used to only 1 point after using all hints.

    • A Brief Phrase
    • The Flag
    • The Capital City

  3. If all else fails, you can skip to the next country. Goodluck!

My Projects

    Brain Mapper

    My first personal Javascript project. Its a trivia game where you guess the country based on its outline.

    The game data is stored on a PostgreSQL instance that is deployed by Railway.

speechsweep
    SpeechSweep

    The weekly lottery where one winner's submitted message is sent to all other participants as a notification. Currently in the process of being published to Google's Play Store.

    Created using React Native with Firebase's backend cloud services. Realtime Database for storage, Play Integrity for OTP authentication and Cloud Functions for serving notifcations to participants.
    r/place Clone

    We recreated Reddit's famous April Fools event called r/place where individuals around the world can contribute one pixel every 5 minutes onto a shared canvas.

    Used 10 Amazon Web Services in conjunction to create an highly scalable and serverless application. Like the original implementation, your IP address is limited to one pixel per 5 minutes.
URLshortener
    URL Shortener

    Created an highly scalable URL shortening service which is able to store millions of key-pairs.

    The number of multi-threaded nodes running the Python/Flask application is scaled to guarantee availability and integrity. Takes advantage of the Cassandra architecture for persistence and a docker swarm of Redis nodes for caching.
Sportify
    Sportify

    Created an IOS & Android app for organizing spontaneous or planned student sporting events at UofT.

    I worked with a team of 5 as part of Google's Developer Student Club. Users are authenticated using Firebase's Realtime Database integrated with UofT's Shibboleth authentication.
Rover
    Rescue Rover

    I participated at MakeUofT with 4 others to create this project.

    This rover collects data of dangerous environments in order to help emergency crew to understand the full situation. The Rover collects raw data through sensors and sends it through the cloud.
Flappy Bird
    Flappy Bird - Assembly

    This is the classic Flappy Bird game while only using Assembly. Every pixel is accounted for.

    Studying at the University of Toronto, you get many unique opportunities to grow. Coding in assembly taught me a lot about what really goes on in a computer.
