Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVikash Tank is a software developer with eight years of experience who transitioned from aerospace engineering to build robust Python and Django systems for startups and large-scale, multi-country platforms. He has deep practical experience in event-sourcing, Celery background processing, GraphQL, and migrating critical industry integrations (including replacing FTP with webhooks) that saved his employer significant costs. Comfortable across the full stack, he’s improved performance by fixing ORM N+1 issues, optimizing SQL, and adding comprehensive Pytest suites while also building React frontends and AWS infrastructure. Vikash mentors junior engineers, runs cross-border knowledge-sharing sessions, and routinely reduces development time through automation and custom tooling. Outside work he channels his design instincts into growing lots of vegetables and making pottery, reflecting a hands-on, design-minded approach to engineering.
