An educational mobile app written in Django and Ionic as a side project, aimed to train college kids in India for their jobs. The employability and job-readiness problem is a serious one, as those from lower-tiered colleges have trouble adjusting to the corporate world. This app was meant to bridge the gap by providing lessons delivered via high-quality streaming, and by providing information about graduate schools with which the company would have had tie-ups. A demonstration version of the code can be found on Github, with the link given below.

This code was created as part of a big project to bring Elasticsearch to the Instahyre platform. I delivered on all parts of the project -: 1. Backend development - writing queries, creating filters, configuring fields etc. 2. Integration of ES into our job matching engine - resulted in a 90% performance gain with a several-second drop through our job matching pipeline. 3. Various front-end components that used ES such as a semi-automated form with numerical cues for recruiters to make informed decisions. 4. Configuration and deployment of AWS's managed ES service, and dealing with compatibility issues that arose. PS: The directive code represents a directive function written in AngularJS as part of an intelligent form that provided numerical cues to recruiters and advised them on how to proceed so that their job would match the maximum number of candidates on the platform. It was part of an experimental feature for agencies, within the framework of an A/B test of what regular employers want versus what agencies want in candidates. PPS: I have linked to a PDF of representative code samples as I cannot link to private code repositories.
