Joined as the third founding engineer, helped in building an e-commerce marketing platform from the ground up (0-1) and ultimately scaling the product(1-N) to achieve multi million ARR.
* Architected and implemented the messaging-as-a-service facilitating communication for multiple brand users using distributed systems processing over 1 million messages daily while maintaining a 99.99% reliability rate.
* Led 2+ teams in the development of a workflow product that orchestrated and streamlined campaign-critical tasks. This initiative not only helped scale the number of campaigns tenfold but also reduced campaign completion time by 30%..
* Designed and implemented automation-as-a-service platform, streamlining custom workflows which reduced manual interventions by 60% when collaborating with a creator in a campaign. Worked closely cross teams to identify and automate key touch points.
* Developed the shared message inbox product, a feature that was collaboratively implemented across two teams. This allowed multiple users to access and manage a common email address, facilitating the brand to delegate and work more efficiently at scale. Resulted in 30% increase of communication volume and a 50% faster response time.
* Established a culture of observability using Datadog APM throughout the engineering organization. Set and enforced SLOs for mission critical API, ensuring consistent SLA compliance. This led to a reduction in P1 bug resolution time from 10 days to 3 days
