1. Promoted from Senior to Lead in under a year; technical anchor across an 8-engineer team, owning HLD/LLD, architecture reviews, and quality bar 2. Led Self-Serve (agency onboarding) feature end-to-end across 6 multi-step workflows with branching callbacks: designed HLD/ LLD, mentored and managed a contributing engineer, shipped with just 4 QA bugs 3. Migrated jobs ingestion from Google Talent to OpenSearch with increased per-task batch latency from 5s to 2s and throughput up to 300 events/min, with multi-lingual search 4. Optimised RDS writer instance’s CPU utilisation from 93% to 27% by introducing SQL Alchemy with read/write splitting, indexing 3 hot queries, and batching repeated reads/writes 5. Built a DAG based orchestrator for the Faust-based normalisation service, replacing redundant SKIP-status transformer runs with true dependency-aware execution: drastically cut RAM usage 6. Built multi-lingual search end-to-end requirements, estimation, implementation, rollout; built resume and JD translation flow with extensible OpenSearch schema designed to scale across dialects

1. One of three engineers on a critical team; converted sequential candidate ingestion to a parallel pipeline, batching LLM/API calls across candidates and extracting per-candidate fields concurrently 2. Diagnosed and stabilised a chronically failing Solr instance by optimising search queries and tuning the ingestion pipeline 3. Helped build Rabbit MQ to AWS SQS migration across two async systems, simplifying message-handling infrastructure
