merchants, and cut down payment-related disputes by 40%.
• Supervised and mentored junior engineers, onboarding new team members, and elevated code
quality by conducting thorough reviews and implementing best-practice guidelines; empowered
team members to adopt improved coding standards, resulting in a 50% decline in critical bugs
identified during testing phases.

fers. This significantly minimized database load, accelerated the migration process, and boosted
system scalability, ensuring seamless and efficient data transitions.
• Redesigned the Proof of Delivery (POD) system to store delivery images permanently, ensuring
merchants retained access to critical proofs even after providers deleted older images.
• Launched multi-stop deliveries, allowing merchants to schedule multiple deliveries together.
This innovation refined the routes of the riders, slashed delivery cost by 50%, and amplified oper-

providers.
• Fine-tuned and monitored the production environment, ensuring seamless operation and issue
resolution.
