Built an ISF (US Customs) REST API end-to-end in Ruby and Kotlin, using gRPC and the outbox pattern through Kafka, and reducing Cost to Serve by 90%

Implemented enhancements for ISF submissions which lowered rejection rates by 80% and improved automation rates by 16% (WoW), and presented a demo to 30+ coworkers

Architected and developed an asynchronous workflow using Sidekiq in Ruby which reduced p95 API latency from 20s to 1.3s (93% improvement)

Participated actively in architecture and design reviews, and served as Subject Matter Expert of an Automated Parser of ISF worksheets while coordinating with stakeholders (director, product manager, operators). The project reduces manual filing effort and hence operational costs by 88%

Streamlined the onboarding process helping 2 engineers join the team by giving 2 engineering talks and publishing 2 wikis (testing workarounds, asynchronous processing)
