• Provided leadership, guidance, and ongoing support to drive team performance and collaboration. • Spearheaded performance optimization of inventory updates through database partitioning, achieving a 99% reduction in processing time (19 minutes to 10 seconds). • Architected and led the redesign of the Distributed Order Management (DOM) system, optimizing high-volume data processing workflows. Successfully reduced processing time for 2 million records from over five hours to under 30 minutes, achieving a 10x improvement in system throughput. • Improvised the Azure Function Apps to reduce latency in DOM by using Connection Pooling for Database and Azure Service Bus Connections and Using autoscaling. • Facilitated production deployments and coordinated load testing activities. • Orchestrated end-to-end development and successful delivery of the Store Util Update Service. • Led the setup of DOM (Flow of Distributed Order Management) components in the staging environment, performed end-to-end functional testing, and supported load testing to ensure production readiness. • Optimized API reliability by implementing Spring Retry for efficient retry mechanisms. Enhanced configurability and resolved issues present in the previous retry implementation, improving system resilience and performance. • Encouraged the adoption of coding best practices, enhancing code quality and consistency within a team of 20+ developers • Designed and implemented AWS Lambda for attachment downloads used by other teams, improving system design and reducing architectural complexity, triggered via AWS Api gateway using Lambda Proxy Integration.

• Championed the seamless integration with the Vault API, enabling the secure storage and effortless retrieval of API keys and Secrets. • Revamped application logging system, reducing production bug debug time by 40%. Improved visibility and traceability, enabling a 50% faster issue resolution rate. • Built an efficient error notification tool that alerts developers about application errors. By providing early feedback on errors, the tool significantly improved error detection and response time, enabling swift troubleshooting and issue resolution. • Implemented and configured Kafka to enhance platform scalability and enable automatic retries for failed tasks. • Provided comprehensive guidance and mentorship to new team members. • Independently developed the Kotlin Builder Generator, an open-source IntelliJ plugin, during personal time. This tool accelerated test writing by 15-20%, becoming a valuable asset for the project and significantly improving developer productivity. • Managed and Contributed to CI/CD pipeline improvements.
