About

I’m a Lead Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and modernizing backend platforms for large-scale e-commerce. My experience spans Search & Relevance, Pricing & Promotions, Backend Architecture, Distributed Systems, Concurrency, and Performance Engineering. I enjoy backend engineering because I like taking complex problems, breaking them down into smaller engineering challenges, designing solutions that can evolve, and taking them all the way to production. In Search, I have worked on query understanding, relevance improvements, NER-based attribute boosting, search indexing, product discovery, contextual pricing, promotional experiences, and high-throughput backend services. In Pricing & Promotions, I have owned initiatives across pricing data models, campaign workflows, merchant vouchers, checkout experiences, and cross-team event-driven integrations. One of the areas I worked on was optimizing the Checkout API to identify and surface the most beneficial eligible voucher for users. I have also led platform modernization initiatives, including the modernization of a Search Gateway integrating 20+ downstream services. The initiative involved Spring Boot 2.7 → 3.4, Java 21 → 25, and RxJava-based execution → Java Virtual Threads, resulting in measurable improvements including 15.1% lower average latency, 8.4% lower P95 latency, 53.9% lower error rate, and 25.2% lower JVM CPU load. Beyond implementation, I enjoy system design, production debugging, architecture discussions, code reviews, and helping engineers solve complex technical problems. I believe good engineering is about understanding the problem deeply, making thoughtful trade-offs, and building systems that remain scalable, reliable, and maintainable.
