Rejoined Dailyhunt as Architect to modernize the technology stack, scale engineering excellence, and embed reliability, customer obsession, and cost efficiency as organizational pillars.
Platformization & Culture – Drove monorepo adoption, Kubernetes standardization, and CI/CD pipelines, boosting developer velocity. Established the Tech Review Council to align initiatives with org-wide architecture standards.
Reliability – Introduced service tiering, ring-0 reliability metrics, and blameless postmortems, cutting MTTD/MTTR. Built LLM-driven auto diff reviews to improve code quality and prevent regressions.
Customer Obsession – Launched Project Pulse to monitor core-flows and Project Eagle to detect and rectify tail-end user issues.
FinOps – Led cloud cost optimization, achieving 50% reduction in spend with transparent observability frameworks, while preserving KPIs.
Recommendations & Personalization – Designed the Starfish a next generation recommendation and personalization framework and next-gen persistent user profile store, delivering sub-50ms latency, 5–7 nines availability, and a 20–25% lift in user time spent.
Data & Infra Evolution – Partnered with Infra on GCP migration and replaced ELK with ClickHouse + Superset, reducing maintenance costs and standardizing observability across News, Ads, Josh, and PWA.

I’ve spent my career at Uber architecting and scaling distributed systems that power mission-critical platforms at internet scale. Some highlights of my work at Uber:
Fulfillment Reliability Platform (Founding Member) – Instrumental in establishment of the Uber Fulfillment’s first dedicated reliability team and built a real-time outage mitigation platform. Leveraging Jaeger traces, the platform auto-generated API call trees, computed health scores, correlated logs, and identified bad diffs, reducing MTTR from hours to minutes during L5 outages. Extended the platform to analyze fail-open/fail-close dependency correctness across thousands of microservices, improving systemic resilience.
Founding Engineer, Fulfillment Platform Re-Architecture – Partnered with a small group of senior engineers to design and build Uber’s next-generation Fulfillment stack powering the global Marketplace. Delivered a highly scalable order execution platform handling millions of trips/day, while mentoring junior engineers and shaping engineering best practices across the org.
Tier-0 Distributed Proxy Cache for Core Services – Architected and delivered a high-throughput, low-latency, tunable-consistency distributed proxy cache that serves as a latency, capacity, and availability shield for marketplace-critical core services (rider, driver, vehicle, trip). The system sustained million+ of QPS, elevated service availability from 2–3 nines to five 9’s, and reduced infrastructure costs significantly by offloading downstream load.
Tier-0 Session Management Service – As senior engineer in a 3-member team, designed and scaled a distributed session management system sustaining 500K+ QPS on critical user interactions. Delivered low-latency, high-availability session infrastructure that underpinned seamless marketplace operations worldwide.
