Software Engineering Intern · HomeHudl
Building safer, more isolated frontend-to-backend communication for a production application.
- Implemented a frontend API proxy that routes client requests through the application server, keeping backend service URLs out of browser-exposed code.
- Improved environment isolation across deployments by centralizing backend request handling server-side.

Full-Stack Software Engineer · Shardings
Built and scaled production collaboration features across web, mobile, backend, and cloud infrastructure for a 12K+ user platform.
- Refactored meeting state from instance-local memory to Redis-backed shared state, allowing stateless Node.js servers to recover room context after reconnects, refreshes, and late joins.
- Introduced autoscaling for production GCP e2-medium app servers, replacing always-on capacity with a 1-3 instance policy while preserving peak availability.
- Built a retry-safe Cloud Tasks, Cloud Run, and Nodemailer notification pipeline for approved-user alerts, newsletters, and AI meeting recaps, handling 300+ emails per day.
- Migrated dashboard and meeting workflows to React with 15 reusable React and Tailwind components, and delivered CodePush OTA fixes to Android and iOS in under five minutes.

Devesh Mittal
Founder & CEO @ Shardings
Anirudh was a core member of the Shardings Meet team and consistently took ownership across multiple areas, from engineering the video player to building the Android and iOS applications. He is a versatile engineer with strong technical skills and the ability to work effectively across platforms. I would highly recommend Anirudh for any software engineering role.

Gaurav Yadav
Software Engineer @ Shardings
I worked closely with Anirudh at Shardings on the web side of Shardings Meet, and he was one of the easiest engineers to collaborate with. We worked through backend changes, deployment issues, and last-minute production bugs together, and he always brought a calm, practical mindset to the problem. What I appreciated most was that Anirudh never treated issues as “someone else’s area.” He would jump in, trace problems end to end, and help get things moving again. He was technically strong, reliable under pressure, and genuinely a joy to work with. I would happily recommend him for any software engineering role.
