About Me

Yash Verma

I'm a Full Stack Developer at CashKaro (India's largest cashback platform), where I've built a credit card recommendation pipeline covering 140+ cards, a 2-tier Redis caching layer that cut API response times from ~5s to under 15ms, and a full insurance backend with RBAC, MFA, and encrypted audit logging.

I'm double AWS certified โ€” Solutions Architect Associate and Cloud Practitioner โ€” and an active open-source contributor: ranked 304th of 27,000+ in GSSoC 2024 and served as a GSSoC 2025 Project Admin for my own project. My toolkit spans JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C++, SQL, and the modern React + Node.js ecosystem.

Away from the keyboard, I'm usually traveling or behind a camera โ€” both keep me curious, which is half the job.
