At DoorDash, my focus has been on developing the world's most reliable logistics engine for delivery, utilizing my expertise in backend technologies.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer II @ DoorDash
Jan 2024 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area
Building the world's most reliable on-demand, logistics engine for delivery.

### Software Engineer @ Endless Frontier Labs
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | New York City Metropolitan Area
• Led the automation of an AWS Lambda-based data ingestion pipeline, enhancing user experience by significantly reducing latency, and Agile scrum teams, ensuring on-time delivery and high-quality project execution.
• Collaborated extensively across teams, leveraging .NET and Java for backend development and React.js for front-end implementations, to refine and optimize business-critical algorithms.
• Spearheaded the refinement of a business matching algorithm to boost operational efficiency, facilitating cross-functional team collaboration from the ideation phase to the final rollout.

### Software Development Engineer @ Flipkart
Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India
◦ Directed a team project to develop a dynamic rule engine for customer interactions, resulting in a 60% efficiency improvement in data ingestion processes.
◦ Reduced the total time required to bring an offer live by redesigning the inter-service communications. Merged small services to avoid redundant calls and have a lesser number of events produced/consumed.
◦ Built a centralized service ‘quester-management’ to create rule chains for dynamic questionnaires and designed an evaluation logic to grade the questions. 
◦ Pioneered the migration of Java applications to Kubernetes, leveraging helm for streamlined deployments, which enhanced application scalability and manageability.
• Directed API integration and development, using .NET, Java, and Node.js, focusing on RESTful API creation and rigorous testing (Unit Testing and System Integration Testing), enhancing system robustness.

### Software Engineer @ Paytm
Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
◦ Designed and developed centralized Sale service to power all the sale events and can scale up to 100k queries per second during high user traffic. Being exposed to high traffic user path flow, implemented in-memory cache using Guava cache to reduce the read calls on the database.
◦ Automated CI/CD pipelines to deploy Docker Image to Kubernetes Cluster.
◦ Designed Checkout/Purchase flow for social commerce. Developed low-latency, high volume APIs with consideration of concurrency, bottleneck, and security.
◦ Designed and developed post order flows for social commerce that interacted with multiple microservices using Kafka for asynchronous communication.
◦ Optimized Elasticsearch queries for multiple indexes used by the centralized search team to reduce the search time.
◦ Designed and developed ‘credit shell’ during pandemic to help users use their airline credit for the next flight bookings. Was primarily involved in integrating credit shell modules used by different airlines and writing a service layer that uses business logic and flow to utilize credit shell amount through our platform.
◦ Designed and developed booking flows for multi-airline itineraries using asynchronous jobs to solve common application scaling and performance challenges.

### Intern @ Paytm
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Bengaluru Area, India
◦ Designed and developed an algorithm for auto-complete, which provided users with suggested queries or results as they type their queries. Used Trie data structure to bring down the search complexities to an optimal limit.
◦ Worked on migrating MySQL schemas using Percona with zero down time.
