As the leader of a 10-15 member team comprising of SDE-1/2, Engineering Manager, UI/UX, Analytics, and PMs, I oversaw the development of six sub-products in the matchmaking and event space. Using React Native and Go tech stack, we launched our MVP app on both Android and IOS in a short span of just three months. One of our primary goals was to achieve high user retention and stickiness, and I'm proud to say that our optimized recommendation algorithm helped us achieve ~ 20% W4 retention and ~ 15% stickiness. We also introduced monetization and payments across the app. To further drive growth, we conceptualized and launched the Live Mixers portal using the 100ms SDK, which led to an average engagement of 22 minutes. We also ventured into physical mixers with a web product in five cities, achieving vertical profitability within just three months. As a tech leader, I built an agile culture with data-backed decision-making and resource allocation based on our product roadmap. We implemented modern SDLC standards and microservices, resulting in cost-constrained and data-driven development. I also oversaw the implementation of various analytics tools, including Trends, Journey, Attribution, Cohort, Funnels, A/B tests, Segmentation, and Uplift Calculation, using skills such as Tableau, PowerBI, SQL, Google Analytics 4, and Clevertap. Additionally, I implemented a design thinking-based UI language that appealed to our target audience and introduced interactions and "Wow Moments." My familiarity with 3 P services, including Payment (Cashfree, Razorpay), Video (100ms), Attribution (Appsflyer), Error log (Sentry), and PM (JIRA), as well as AWS services such as EC2, Route53, Lambda, Kinesis, Rekognition, DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3, and Redshift, allowed us to develop and scale our product in a cost-effective manner.
