Hi! I'm Ayush Warikoo.

I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a double degree in CS & BBA. My expertise from past internships and projects is in full-stack web development, primarily using JavaScript, Python and Java; though I’m passionate about software development as a whole. Previously I've completed SWE internships at Amazon (AWS), Zanbato, NextRoll and Autodesk. I like to approach problems by thinking about what would generate the most value, with a strong emphasis on performance. Overall, I'm looking for an opportunity to contribute towards something impactful alongside talented engineers. Feel free to reach out, I would be happy to discuss my expertise in greater detail!

Projects

Master Menu

Menu Management Web Application

A FERN (Firebase, Express, React, Node) web application, hosted and deployed using AWS, that minimizes the inconveniences of eating out by providing digital restaurant menus all in one place. Using the menu filter, users can input allergies/dietary restrictions, ingredient preferences, dish rating, etc to find the food that best matches their desired criteria and elect to pre-order it alongside booking a reservation time. The application uses Stripe for payment processing and Google Places API for location search autocomplete.

The project was developed using Django Channels and Websocket API for real-time two-way communication, with a server-client architecture. Additionally, the application is built with React on the frontend, ElastiCache (Redis) for persisting game state and deployed using Elastic Beanstalk. The project is still early in development and will include a number of unique game modes.

Hydra

Object-Oriented Designed Card Game

An esoteric card game I developed to demonstrate my knowlegde of coding standards and object-oriented programming in a fun way. The game was developed with object-oriented pillars & principles in mind, leveraging smart pointers and the observer design pattern. The design focused on adaptability, allowing users to customize game settings and dynamically toggle rules.

Pokémon

Game Recreation Using Java Animation Library

A Pokémon-like game I implemented using object-oriented programming in Java and animation library, Processing, as my first venture into game development. Players may capture and battle with pokemon while following the game storyline. The application leverages the ControlP5 and Minim libraries for the user interface and game audio respectively.
