Amitosh Swain Mahapatra
Software Engineer from Bangalore, India
I'm a software engineer based in Bangalore, India with 2 years of experience in the software industry. My focus area for the past few years has been back-end development with Java and Go, but I'm also skilled in Python, NodeJS and front-end development with React.
I currently working at Gojek, building Gopay, a e-wallet for south-east asia. I have made a considerable amount of contribution to open-source. I maintain a popular NodeJS module called `bcrypt`, which gets around 2 million installs every day making it one of the most used NodeJS modules. I have worked with the FOSSi Foundation as part of the Google Summer of Code, 2017, and the Fedora Project as part of the Google Summer of Code, 2018
When not coding, I love to revel in creativity — I draw, paint, sketch and cook. I'm also a passionate gamer. I like djent, metal and rock music.
