Hi, I am
GOSHROW
. . . Swapnil Ghosh.
Who
Swapnil ?
⇕
Um, yes, that is me, as well. Swapnil Ghosh
I am formally being educated at BIT Mesra for an Undergraduate Course: Bachelors in Information Technology; will graduate in 2022.
To add, I am a proactive consumer and contributor of the Internet and Computing Culture: be it creating and organizing a FOSS Event ( from Scratch ), publishing packages to pypi, contributing to Wikipedia, participating ( and winning ) hackathons, browsing each and everything that escapes me, or even blogging about all the action.
What interested me in Computers?
⇕
Internet.
No other field of education and profession can be used to potentially popularize and show off your self as an entity. The immediacy to be available remotely and impact places far-off within a collaborative human effort is what drives me. What interests me further than Computer Networks is how beautifully they can be arranged to effeciently realize the flow on highly scalable consumer bases and the strategic uses of tools like load balancers, MQs and CDNs.
Add to the mix, Tom Scott, Computerphile, the fact a couple of folks wrote C, another college grad wrote the most famous Kernel and later on, the standard VCS, and the abundance of Resources for upcoming tech folks like me.
What I am looking forward to do?
⇕
- Anything, a framework, a script, an algorithm, an implementation, a set of APIs that has any real-life consequences and serves anything efficiently.
experiences
Samsung Bangalore - Summer Intern May 2021 - Jul 2021
One of the Best Summers Ever
Got to build an HDR image enhancement system optimized for Videos.
- Most of the stuff goes under NDA but will be glad to chat upon this problem and my generalized solution in person.
- Got to fiddle with great resources for computation and code handling and a whole lot more.
- Met awesome folks.
AWS-Crio Externship Mar 2021 - Apr 2021
An actual impactful externship
This was the final stage of the multi-stage Crio Winter of Doing. The project was procured from AWS and mentored accordingly.
- Created an AWS Lambda Scheduler and Orchestrator Library from Scratch in a team of 2.
- I handled the effective working of the Library and the REST APIs it laid out while my partner designed the demo for it by using the Library in a Full Stack Web App.
- Used PostgreSQL for Database of the Scheduler and Orchestrator Events.
- Used these Events in an Event Driven Scheduler Script created using ShellScript and TypeScript.
- The APIs were vended as TypeScript methods within an instance of the Library Class.
- Orchestrator helped sequence out complicated schedules for AWS Lambda Triggering with multiple AWS Lambdas in place with their own meta if-else cases.
- Provided precision of less than a second in the from-scratch-scheduler.
Hack36 2020 Feb 2020
We Won It.
Organized by MNNIT Allahabad, this was a Major National College Hackathon, and we won it.
The implemented and fully functioning code we created from scratch in 36 hours was an aid for ADHD diagnosis through visual cues served beside an Interactive Gaming Platform.
- I handled a major aspect of the app which was to poplulate a blinking-pattern graph for the end-user while serving an aesthetic Zen mode to cool down the supposed ADHD Patient.
- This graph was processed in the background and immediately served up to be further accessible from the Public Cloud Service we used, while avoiding any PII of the patient.
- Thereby, I streamlined it into the major flow of deployment and put it up as a route while making sure that we got no CORS errors and it worked cross-platform.
Crio Launch Feb 2020 - Mar 2020
Enterprise-Level Hands-On Coding
This was a hand-on experiential learning platform provided to a bunch of cherry-picked candidates to work on a Simulated Enterprise Codebase. Much like a Virtual WorkPlace with various streams to work on and milestones to complete.
- The selection process was not only a rigorous coding round, but also a weekend assignment to utilize HTTP Requests, Postman and API Documentations for on-the-go Social Media Sharing microservice of a Food Delivery Website.
- Utilized a VSFTPD ( Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon ) for secure and effecient Packet Transfer through the Background Process using Bash.
- Insured Packet Transfer through the Daemon by utilizing WireShark and FileZilla. And ran instances for them on the remote workspace.
- Refactored Java Spring Code for a Microservice that looked out for API Calls pertaining to a Stock Trading Portfolio and delivered the interfaces for it.
- Implemented Fundamental Logic for reporting the shifts in market economy, and published it all to a Central Maven Repository.
Crio.Do Lead TA Dec 2019 - Jan 2020
Eased the managerial aspects of TAs in Crio.Do
- As a Lead TA, I scheduled the availability and the schedule for other TAs, handled meta-issues and onboarded TAs effeciently on from their performance in the weekend Cohorts.
- Insured that all tickets are resolved adequately, and solutions to the issues effectively come up as Discussions on the Forums on Discourse.
IET, BIT Mesra Aug 2018 - Present
Vice Predident
- Organized tech-related events and workshops for Python3, C/C++, Web Developement and Linux / Networking for the College Club.
- Expanded the audience of the club events to include remote and inter-college participants amidst the pandemic.

Projects
whereAreMyFingers
- A fun lightweight assistive tool that I have added to my autostart systemd services and use often.
- Acts as an assistive tool to tell and record the user’s choice of input device, be it a keyboard or a mouse and effectively compare their usage.
- Added an effective man page for using it with some modifications on the daemonizing.
xMeme
- Created and Hosted a Full Stack Application on Azure, using NodeJS-ExpressJS and PostgreSQL for Backend API Services, and Vanilla JS on gh-pages for frontend.
