• Implemented enterprise SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On (SSO) with SP-/IdP-initiated authentication, dynamic partner validation, metadata generation, and Single Logout (SLO), integrated with IAM for multi-account login and session-based JWT authentication — enabling Ola's onboarding as a new Plum partner. • Led migration of WhatsApp notification infrastructure off a third-party vendor (Landbot) to an in-house notification service across 5 microservices, cutting vendor messaging costs by >99% while maintaining zero customer-facing disruption. • Root-caused a 9x usage anomaly by correlating application logs (New Relic), backend code paths, and vendor billing dashboards — distinguishing genuine platform behavior from a code-level bug, and driving the finding to closure with the vendor's support team. • Identified and retired dead infrastructure (legacy cron jobs, orphaned cloud functions, unused code paths) across multiple production services, reducing operational surface area and unnecessary API calls. Tech stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, SAML 2.0, JWT Authentication, REST APIs, New Relic

About

Software Engineer at Plum, focused on backend engineering and distributed systems. I built SAML 2.0 SSO from scratch, enabling Ola to come on as a partner. I also moved our WhatsApp notifications off a third-party vendor (Landbot) to an in-house system, reducing costs by over 99%. Before this, I interned at Microsoft on their Data Platform team, where I cut query latency by 40% and automated manual validation work that was taking significant engineering time. Comfortable with Node.js, TypeScript, Kafka, Redis, MongoDB, and SQL. I also solve a lot of DSA problems (800+ on LeetCode). Open to backend and SDE-1 roles.
