About me


Hi I am Devang Padhiyar :wave:,

I’m a Senior Software Engineer, aka the backend wizard 🧙‍♂️, who loves playing with cloud services and AI magic. My toolkit? Python, JavaScript, Node.js, C/C++ and power-ups like DjangoJS and React! I build cool stuff that scales across finance, tech, e-commerce, and multimedia like a pro 🛠️💻.

Right now, I’m working remotely (from my comfy chair 🪑) with Simplified, TLDR Technologies Inc., where I lead AI-powered video automation and media projects 🎥🤖. I'm also the cloud whisperer ☁️, making sure everything runs fast and smooth ⚡. Before that, I was rocking backend development at Aubergine Solutions and kicking off e-commerce innovations 🚀. And in my early days at Nividata, I dived deep into the fintech and blockchain worlds 🔐💰. Back when I was a programming newbie 🧑‍💻, I dabbled in IoT projects 🌐 and got hands-on with low-level C and C++ programming 🤓.

I’m a regular on StackOverflow and GitHub, earning some shiny awards and badges 🏅. My tech journey is powered by a degree in IT, a few Scrum Mastery certs, and an unquenchable thirst for learning and innovation!

Here’s a little taste of my skill buffet!
