Software Engineer

Zynga•  January 2021 - Present•  Bangalore

I spearheaded the development of three major features, leading a team of two engineers, and optimized code by templatizing repetitive elements, significantly reducing overall development time. I engineered backend systems for leaderboard features and automated artifact cleanup using Jenkins, boosting efficiency and minimizing manual tasks. I actively participated in specification reviews and architectural discussions for various game features and significantly contributed to the development of features that boosted player retention and Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). I developed leaderboard functionality for creating tiered and global leaderboards, led the integration of the Android Billing library, and migrated the project to the latest target SDK. Additionally, I reviewed code to detect potential issues early and served as a buddy for other engineers, assisting in the development of optimized architectures and approving cost estimates and architectural decisions.

Software Engineer

Traveloka•  May 2019 - January 2021•  Bangalore

I managed a high-traffic platform as part of the Merchandising Team, where I streamlined onboarding for new business units by developing a Config-Based UI generation module, reducing frontend onboarding time by 90%. I transitioned the web tool to a serverless architecture, cutting infrastructure costs by 95%, and led comprehensive integration efforts for various business units. Additionally, I transformed the Java backend codebase from a monorepo with multiple services into a multirepo architecture.

Full Stack Engineer

Egnify•  June 2018 - May 2019•  Hyderabad

I designed and implemented a role-based user management system and Single Sign-On service within a microservice architecture, and developed the backend for a distributed online test-taking and assessment platform used by over 8,000 students daily. I created pipelines for rank, mark, and concept analysis using Celery and Redis message queues. Additionally, I engineered a multi-tenant system to ensure each institution operates within its own isolated database environment and devised an architecture enabling hierarchical data access within institutions, facilitating specific data access permissions for users.
