About Me

Hello, this is Varun! 👋

I’m a Bay State Fellow at UMass Amherst Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences pursuing a Master's of Science in Computer Science on a full 100% scholarship.

In Summer 2024, I interned at DXFactor, where I built a comprehensive authentication system for a SaaS fitness app using Django Rest Framework, along with optimizing performance through asynchronous operations. Additionally, I automated ETL pipelines using AWS Lambda to streamline data transfers.

In summer 2023, I interned at Adani, where I focused on writing Python automation scripts to identify idle resources in their Google Cloud infrastructure. Moreover, I created a centralized full-stack dashboard using Django Rest and React to visualize the data for the cloud fin-ops team. ⚙️🔍📊
