- Owned backend design and integration for the Multi-Booking launch across 4 microservices, covering slot expiry, preferred-professional selection, and surge-pricing correctness; drove 5% of all InstaHelp requests and INR 20 million in revenue within 2 months. - Drove the packing (scheduling-optimization) platform end-to-end: simulated 4+ packing strategies against production calendars and shipped the resulting Pack-to-Edge design across routine and on-demand paths, increasing partner utilization by 20%. - Developed an LLM-powered debugging tool that reconstructs packing decisions from production data, replacing 20–30 minutes of manual tracing per issue and enabling parallel triage of multiple packing bugs. - Led the Ramadan calendar migration and rollback across all Saudi Arabia categories at twice the prior year’s scale, migrating 5,500+ recurring routines, 700+ partner calendars, and 2,500+ requests with zero metric impact.

About

I am a graduate of IIT(BHU) Varanasi, and an enthusiastic problem solver, currently working as SDE-2(Backend) at Urban Company with strong foundation in computer science. My expertise in Python, coupled with my mastery of system design, database optimization, and modern technologies like Docker, Kafka, and AWS, make me a true asset in the industry. I have deep interest in Backend Development and love to work on Systems dealing with Scalability. Additionally, I am well-versed in the latest industry practices, including continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), DevOps, and container orchestration. I've solved more than 1000 coding problems on platforms like Leetcode, Codeforces and have a decent grip over DS & ALGO. Apart from it I have deep knowledge of Python, C++, C, AWS SQS, HLD, LLD, Sanic, SQL databases and Caches . I am responsible for high level and low level design of a feature, implementing backend services at 1MG Pharmacy Vertical.
