Designed & Implemented Search Engine: Built a context-aware search solution handling special characters, synonyms, and stemming across asset display names, API names, and SQL names. Boosted Relevance: Prioritized native objects and high-usage attributes, reducing the average clicked rank from 7 to 3. Eliminated hot-shards leading to poor performance, by doing node wise analysis for the OpenSearch cluster. Slashed P99 Latency by 80%: Reduced OpenSearch P99 latency from 10+s to under 2s by redesigning the nested schema into a flat index and parallelizing query execution. Optimized Infrastructure & Costs: Reduced indexing load by more than 80 percent by migrating from daily cron jobs to an event-driven system leading to savings of $700,000 annually. Built an evaluation system to avoid unintentional changes in ranks of search results for super-admins.
