I'm Yash Gupta, a Backend Software Developer at CRED with over 2 years of experience building high-performance systems serving millions of users daily. My journey is particularly inspiring as I graduated from IIT Indore with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, yet successfully transitioned into software development. I secured both on-campus and off-campus offers, with CRED being my off-campus success. I've excelled in re-architecting critical services, implementing high-throughput systems and AI driven automation. Having qualified for prestigious competitions like ACM ICPC and Facebook Hacker Cup and KickStart. Beyond my engineering role, I’m passionate about helping people break into tech using AI. I guide developers on: Cracking job opportunities without even referrals using AI- powered strategies. Optimizing job search, interviews, and career growth.
