June 2025 - Present

Worked at HUZL, a freelance platform where hirers post jobs and hustlers apply, manage projects, and track work after hiring. I built the backend for Hustler Development Program (HDP), a contest feature where users participate in competitions (like photography, development) and win rewards based on rankings. I handled schema design, APIs, and overall contest flow. I built the Community and Activity feature where platform activities like hiring, posting projects, following users, and other actions are shown in a feed. I implemented follow and unfollow functionality and created a ‘Following’ tab to show activity only from users you follow. I faced race condition issues while handling activity counts and updates, and fixed them to ensure data stays correct during concurrent operations. I used MongoDB aggregation to fetch and structure activity feed data efficiently even with high activity. I worked on a major feature called Session-Based Booking where hustlers can create sessions and hirers can book them. I designed the complete database schema for session providers, session types (like 30 mins, 60 mins), availability, and recurring session patterns. I added MongoDB transactions in multiple APIs to make sure operations are atomic, so partial or broken data does not get saved when users leave flows incomplete. I built logic to list sessions by pairing hustlers and hirers and showing only the latest session per day for each pair. I fixed multiple bugs in payment-related flows after integration and improved overall reliability of bookings. I also worked on frontend improvements for booking flows and improved the landing page UI with better structure and animations. Worked across Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, and AWS, with more focus on backend logic and data handling.
