Hello, I'm Divyanshu. As a Full Stack Engineer with a focus on frontend development, I'm at the beginning of my journey in the tech industry. I have a genuine interest in human-computer interfaces and am eager to explore and contribute to its evolution. In my recent role at Chronicle, I had the opportunity to collaborate on projects that aimed to enhance the way we create and deliver presentation experiences.
I hold a degree in Architecture from IIT Roorkee, class of 2022. This academic foundation has instilled in me a nuanced understanding of technology, allowing me to approach it not just as a tool, but as an art form that melds functionality, efficiency, and user experience.
At Chronicle, a startup revolutionizing presentation delivery, I transitioned from an intern to a full-time Software Engineer, spearheading the implementation of key features like the "Image Picker" and enhancing user interfaces. Collaborating closely with Product Managers and Designers, I also played a pivotal role in refining slide block addition mechanisms and supporting senior engineers in bug resolution.
I worked under the guidance of Prof. Haijun Xia at the Creativity Lab in UC San Diego on the development of a declarative grammar in JSON through which one can create customized array animations to illustrate a range of varied transformations on arrays.
I worked at the Memory Anxiety Research Group of IIT Roorkee under the supervision of Prof. Manish Kumar Asthana. I was responsible for developing a number of interactive virtual environments on Unity and Vizard 7. These were used to collect behavioural data of users by testing them on particular tasks. I also analysed participant's behavioural data thus collected to gain insights into their behaviour.
I worked at Razorpay as a Full-Stack Designer during the summers of 2019 where I designed and developed an interactive section for their company's website with the aim of recommending product solutions in accordance with their user needs.
I also worked at the Net-Zed Lab of IIT Roorkee as a research assistant during the winters of 2018 under the supervision of Prof. Elangovan Rajasekar. Here I developed a prototype that automated the functioning of an AC remote control to optimise upon human comfort and energy efficiency.
