  • Asynchronous Processing:
  • Implemented Message Queue (RabbitMQ and Kafka across services): For handling tasks like sending notifications about data transfers, order updates, processing payments, in the background.
  • Migrated services from AWS EC2 to Kubernetes. Brought down costs by 250 USD per day.
  • Worked with the order management system team in supply engineering. Writing APIs on python-Django and elixir.
  • Built and implemented various business logic in drop-shipping services required for courier partners such as delhivery, shadowfax.
  • Employed Kafka for event handling and Django state transitions for event-driven functionality.
  • Became the main contributor from my team (within 3 months of my internship) of the service, tick-tock, to build layers of logic for efficient computation of available slots based on cart weight, item availability by integration with inventory service and merchant availability.
