I'm Ankit — half engineer, half stargazer. When I'm not aiming telescopes at the moon (yes, that's also my nickname for my fiancée), I'm crafting digital products

Work Experience
ZeroDown
Staff Engineer | 2020 – 2023
Revolutionized real estate with performance so good, it turned loading spinners into shooting stars.
- Took the site from sluggish to snappy: Lighthouse score jumped from 9 to 90+.
- Designed an interactive map search with dynamic zoom — like Google Earth, but for dream homes.
- Built an AI-powered chat interface and agent dashboards because even realtors deserve some magic.
Razorpay
Senior Software Engineer | 2016 – 2020
Early team. Big dreams. Infinite UPI transactions.
- Maintained and re-architected Razorpay’s checkout (yep, the thing you’ve probably used).
- Built SDKs that autofill OTPs like mind-reading magic.
- Helped migrate the merchant dashboard from Angular to React. Also maintained their main website like a digital bouncer.
GNOME Foundation (Google Summer of Code)
Software Intern | 2015
- Wrote an Android app that let your phone tell your desktop, “Hey, I’m over here,” using GPS and Wi-Fi wizardry.
