👋 Hello!

Glad to see you here! I'm Vinit Shahdeo, a Software Engineer with a strong passion for JavaScript and open-source. I'm honored to be recognized thrice as a GitHub Star from India! With a knack for building event-driven architecture, I balance code with badminton 🏸 and find peace in a sip of tea 🍵 and poetry 🎙️.

Currently, I’m leading engineering efforts at an AI startup (zzazz), building scalable microservices and AI-powered platforms to turn online content into valuable, tradable assets. Before this, I built core banking platform at Novo as a Senior Backend Engineer, and earlier spent 4.5 wonderful years at Postman. My notable contributions at Postman include building Interceptor and Integrations. Discover more about my Postman journey and valuable lessons. I've had the privilege of mentoring in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) at AsyncAPI and Postman. You can find me at @vinitshahdeo-novo for my work in Novo.

Projects

Apart from the pinned repositories, I have built:

🛡️ Peerlist README Badges (included in Peerlist official tools)
🔍 OpenAPI Web Search (part of GSoC at Postman)
💧 Water Monitoring System (part of Rails Girls Summer Of Code)
🦠 COVID-19 Tracker (featured in newspapers, blogs)

Tech Stack

I mostly work with JavaScript, specifically Node.js in the backend with AWS as the cloud and Kafka as the queuing system. Recently, I have been tinkering with GoLang.

Open Source Initiatives

During Hacktoberfest, I initiated a program aimed at helping beginners kickstart their journey into open-source, impacting over 1200+ beginners worldwide. Currently, I'm seeking collaboration for #50DaysOfJavaScript, a community-led open-source initiative to enhance JavaScript skills to ace the next JS interviews. Please consider joining as a participant, mentor, or a community partner.
