On-site

EdCast is an AI-powered knowledge cloud for Unified Discovery, Knowledge Management, and Personalized Learning with ~3M+ users, aimed towards upskilling the enterprise workforce. The company has raised $100M+ in funding over seven rounds since 2014. In 2019, I transitioned to a Tech Lead role and assumed full responsibility for enterprise search while leading the AI team in India. I was then promoted to Engineering Manager in 2020 to lead a five-member team as a subject matter expert on the LXP core product to bridge the architectural gap between the AI product and LXP and ensure that features and APIs built by the AI team were properly leveraged within LXP. My work includes content discovery using search, running sprints and coordinating releases, and facilitating training on AI functionality for customer success teams. Project highlights: • Standardized SSO setup procedures to enable onboarding to handle SSO without engineering support. • Ran Sprints and managed release coordination for the AI team in India. • Facilitated training sessions for the customer success team on the AI functionality to improve their capabilities to create solutions for customers and not overpromise. • Established company-wide policy for creation of architecture documentation for every feature before development. • Re-implemented multi-tenant, multi-lingual enterprise search using ElasticSearch 7 with a focus on relevancy, speed, and horizontal scalability. • Designed user session management to harden security. • Implemented a GraphQL-like attribute selection for REST APIs using recursive descent parser. • Built a bulk user import and provisioning solution that reduced import time from an hour to two seconds. • Appraising performance and mentoring the team. Also hiring and onboarding new members.

About

I'm a tech leader, crafting SaaS solutions for over 13 years in startups. I focus on scalable architectures, product-thinking, agile development, and nurturing talent. I lead teams in a hands-on fashion. I emphasize thorough documentation for learning, decision-making, and stakeholder management. I’m proficient in systems design, imperative languages, databases, search tech, and clouds like AWS. I value the engineering approach over tools. I toy with technologies by creating software projects. I write insights on my portfolio here: https://www.gotechnocrat.com
