Capture the Flag
Our team worked on a real time fault detection project in 2 day BOS (Business Office Solution) Speedathon. We created APIs in Spring Boot as well as the UI integration for the utility screen which helped to detect fault in the api response across all Verizon channels. The faulty response could be seen and response from other channels could be used for comparison through a drop down list.
BOS Speedathon
As a team, we worked together to create an Employee Assistance chatbot using Lex AWS Service. The Bot used serverless Lambda Functions for api integration and intent response. The architecture included the use of SNS to trigger another lambda to put responses in S3, and also the use of Dynamo DB for employee data. It had functionalities like voice recognition, giving employee details, booking cabs, scheduling webex meetings, raising trouble tickets, etc for enriching the employee experience

        It was a pleasure working with Aakanksha at Apple.  She started as an Intern in a very difficult climate, that being a remote worker in Covid-19 times.  Not only that, she worked 3 time zones away!

She was very keen to get started on learning the tools, infrastructure and processes that she would need to use to complete her project.  When I provided her with details of the above items, she did her best to learn everything she could about them.  While she asked questions about things that were difficult to understand, she did not ask the same question twice, but also did not fear asking questions.

I was also impressed by her ability to pick up Go and write it as though it was the only language she knew (it is not).  She had not done any Go programming prior to Apple but she quickly became adept at it.

I was very impressed that she was able to complete her project given the tight timelines, disjoint work schedules and other challenges that we had to work around during the pandemic.

I would definitely work with Aakanksha again if I had the chance.
