About Me
Hi, My name is Kumar Samaksha, I’m a software engineer with experience in .NET and Angular development. I am currently working for IntelliH as a full stack web developer on their patient monitoring product called PatientX.
I enjoy understanding how systems work that is performant and secure whilst also giving users an enjoyable experience. I have worked with a range of different languages and frameworks and I am always looking for opportunities to work with something new. The things that I currently have experience working with are : Javascript, Angular, .NET, Python, C++, MySQL, GIT and Azure
Education
BIRLA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
BTech Electronics and Communication
2018 - 2022, 7.8 CGPA
During my time at BIT Mesra I learnt lots of key skills such as team work and project management. Although we mainly focused on software development and the principles of programming I use a lot of these skills to my advantage in my day to day work.
I spent a lot of my free time with the Robotics Club. I spent 3 years on the Team as a Technical Member and then Mentoring the newcomers. During this time I took on roles from Participating in robotics competition to organising a event for college tech fest.
Experience
Working at IntelliH as a front end engineer focusing mostly on a patient monitoring product called PatientX. I have the opportuntity to help drive the team forward and work with the PM.
I spent time working on various areas of a large application. The frontend is a Angular app that talks to an API built using a collection of .NET microservices. I have spent time working in mutliparts of the stack including helping to implement a microservice from scratch.
I enjoy learning about all areas of our application which allows me to be go-to person for knowledge and queries within my team and the other teams. I am always looking to suggest improvements and challenging what and how we are working to make sure we are delivering the best service to the customers.
For 6 months I was working on delivering a standalone web product called Fastenal branch catalogue. This has been built from the ground up using .NET to provide a backend API and Angular for the frontend. I also gained a lot of experience with MongoDB in the backend.
During the project I spent time writing the technical Specifications and also collecting Project Requirements. I feel this is a useful skill to have as it helps me to become an even more well-rounded developer.
Projects
Last year I took on the task of rebuilding an existing application that services over 100 customers. I worked on updating the frontend, backend and design. This project had a very tight time scale and I was able to complete it in very good time while providing regular updates. I then built this to a high standard which lead to a seamless switch over from the previous system with no issues. The site was built using PHP/MySQL and I have used Azure to deploy and host the site.
I have used this experience to increase many of my skills and also learn new things, most recently PHP and MySQL. I have particularly enjoyed designing my own website and implementing this to a high standard.
Built a NodeJs/MongoDB file upload and short link generation platform with authentication. Frontend end with Angular and used AWS S3 for object storage.
Worked as part of team EDITH consisting of 4 people with a diverse skill set in HackAbit hackathon. This Bot enters a room and traverse’s the room outputting a map using LIDAR this could prove very helpful in surveillance
The final bot was built using embedded systems and computer vision. The output could have been much better with the use of machine learning and LIDAR technology.

When I'm Not Programming
When I am not at my desk, I like to be active outdoors. I picked up table tennis and volleyball during my college time and have represented my school in inter-city badminton competition. I have tech and entrepreneurship, New technologies and business are fascinating to me.
I love to meet new people.It’s always an eye opening experience talking to people from different backgrounds and gaining insights in various fields.
