Vikas Waktariya

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience building and scaling high-performance web applications, primarily using Ruby on Rails and React JS. I’m passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and solving real-world problems through elegant technical solutions. Throughout my career, I have worked in fast-paced environments and contributed to both startup and enterprise-level applications.

At Ovdss, my current role, I’ve led the development of scalable RESTful APIs, improved system performance through caching and memory optimization, and implemented automated deployment pipelines, reducing deployment time by over 80%. I also developed monitoring systems and predictive models using ML to better understand user behavior, contributing to data-driven decisions.

Previously at Deqode, I spent over 6 years honing my full-stack development skills. I built microservice-based architectures, improved mobile responsiveness (which increased traffic by 30%), and implemented automated test suites that reduced production bugs by 70%. I also played a key role in optimizing large databases by indexing, query refactoring, and building reliable data pipelines, which significantly improved performance and data accuracy.

In addition to backend and frontend expertise, I’m well-versed in PostgreSQL, MySQL, Git, Bitbucket, AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, IAM, Route 53), and CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions and Bitbucket Pipelines. I’ve also worked with jQuery, JavaScript (ES6+), and have experience in writing and maintaining automated tests using RSpec, Capybara, and Jest.

What drives me is the ability to work on products that have real impact. I love contributing to meaningful projects, especially in startup environments where innovation, ownership, and learning are core to the culture. My communication skills, reliability, and self-motivation make me an ideal candidate for remote freelance roles.

Currently, I am based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh (India) and actively seeking remote freelancing opportunities where I can leverage my skills to deliver scalable and reliable web applications. I’m always open to collaborating with teams that value clean code, open communication, and building products that users love.
