In today’s post, we get into a conversation with Athul Tuttu, a Python Validator on the Indorse platform! We’ll be talking about his motivation to become a Validator and his experience since he joined Indorse.

Athul is a passionate software engineer working at Mphasis, an IT service management company. He is conversant with TPF (Transaction Processing Facility), Assembler programming, TPFDB, TPF C/C++, Microsoft SQL and Python! Prior to joining Mphasis, Athul worked for ITFlux where he got exposure to open source technologies such as ODOO (OpenERP) & Python. He is a Mahatma Gandhi University graduate and a Python Validator on the Indorse platform!

What motivated you to become a Python Validator on Indorse?

Well, there are several reasons which made me join Indorse. I have always been passionate about coding; and by being a Validator, I come across several gits and/or projects that have become a constant source of new ideas for me.

What has your experience as a Validator brought to you?

As mentioned earlier, being a Validator has helped me improve my own knowledge and has brought fresh ideas to the table. I have come across several gits which have inspired me to improve my own GitHub workflow, coding standards and efficiency. An engineer is indeed always eager to learn new workflows and best practices from successful developers, and Indorse provides the perfect platform to do so.

What are the best coding ideas and/or solutions (i.e. claims) that you have approved?

I have come across several web scraping tools written in Python, which have automated daily tasks such as collecting latest news over the Internet, compilation of friends list or even building an email list. Projects like these make me happy because they remind me that software engineering is indeed being used to automate a manual task and save time!

How do you envision Indorse bridging the gaps between HR and developers?

There are several professional and social networking applications, and none that I know of are programmed to validate the skills listed on the user’s profile. I have noticed that recruiters find it difficult to rely on programmers’ profiles and often resort to online technical tests and face-to-face interviews to evaluate their knowledge. Indorse can apparently take off the burden for online evaluation and proposes validated coding skills via assessments made by Validators like myself.

Feel free to share more experiences with us!

Indorse is doing a really good job currently with its validation process for coding skills. However, in the long run, Indorse could try to include coding challenges and IDEs to further enhance the validation process.

Thank you Athul for sharing your insights. Great to have you onboard!
