About

I am Giri Babu Aakula, a full stack javascript developer. I have been writing code for the past 6 years now. It all started when I am in my university. From my childhood, I have been into tech and building things.

My professional experience started in July, 2018 where I joined Prime Focus Technologies as a web developer. I worked there for around 1.5 years. There I learned about HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT and REACT. The company mainly works on video editing, writing subtitles and distributing content. There I got exposure to videos i.e. editing videos, including subtitles with videos and doing this whole thing in the browser. I got some introduction to FFMPEG also. Overall I became an amateur video programmer and decent web developer there.

In January 2020, I joined Alopa Infotech as a frontend developer mainly focussing on Reactjs. The company is into health care and it is building end to end hospital delivery solutions. I worked on building dashboards, creating API’s using React and Node. It was an interesting journey as I got to work with some cool node libraries like puppeteer. Here I learned about the Docker, Micro Services, Databases like MySql, ORM’s like Sequelize and of course React. All in all after working for one year there I got confidence that I can build full stack application ony my own.

In January 2021, I joined Vidgyor as a fullstack javascript developer. The company provides video ad-monitisation solutions. I got offer here based on my experience with videos in my first company. I currently work here, we mostly work with videojs and IMA SDK and other google products like analytics.

In December 2025, I joined Wipro as a Senior Software Engineer. I got an interview directly with client that is IBM. The whole process lasted for a month and has 5-6 rounds of interviews. Currently working on the IBM project, it is called Watson Orchestrate. It is an IBM cloud product, working here is let’s say not as good as working in vidgyor. Mostly because of the bureaucracy, there are too many processes, and little coding. My goal is to learn these processes, so hopefully this would make me ready for the future AI apocalypse.
