Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working at some of the most influential technology companies, including Arcesium India and Expedia Group. Currently, I am working in the Expedia group as a SDE II Backend Engineer, I lead efforts in developing and optimizing large-scale systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability. During my time at Expedia, I had a chance to build Traveler-Api Service from scratch which is serving 5 million+ lodging booking requests per week. I had a cucumber testing framework that is robust extensible and widely used in Expedia now. I thrive on collaborating with cross-functional teams, mentoring fellow engineers, and continuously refining systems to meet user needs and business goals. My expertise extends to designing architectures that align with industry-leading standards while maintaining high system availability. I developed backend services, created APIs, and implemented CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment efficiency. During my tenure at Arcesium, I honed expertise in both SQL and NoSQL databases, leveraging these skills to deliver robust, high-performance solutions. As part of a leading fintech organization, I played a pivotal role in managing and enhancing the FUMA platform, a core system for comprehensive fund management. My responsibilities included architecting scalable database solutions, optimizing complex queries, and ensuring seamless data flow to support critical financial operations. Earlier in my career, I worked as a TA in Coding Ninjas which is an online teaching platform in Delhi India.
