Core contributor to Zomato’s Search platform, working primarily in Golang, handling infrastructure that powers 100M+ daily searches. Engineered a high-throughput data ingestion pipeline processing 3M+ real-time events/day via an event-driven Apache Kafka consumer integrated with Apache Solr. Led development of multiple revenue-driving features: Quick Delivery, Flash Sale, Dark Mode, Food on Train, and Food on Highway integrations — each shipped from design to production. Optimised search query performance, achieving 23% latency reduction at scale across 100M+ daily searches on one of India’s highest-traffic consumer apps. Enhanced homepage and autosuggest functionalities, directly improving user engagement and conversion metrics.
