About

A software engineer with thorough hands-on experience for more than 14 years in designing, implementing and managing the development of Internet applications and products. From working with one of world's leading software companies like Oracle to working with high-velocity, growing start-ups like Myntra(India’s largest online platform for fashion and lifestyle products, acquired by Flipkart) and Redbus(India’s largest bus ticketing company, acquired by Naspers), I have learnt the best of both worlds and can effectively deliver well designed products at a faster pace. I believe in building softwares which can make a difference in people's lives. I have self started projects to meet the same, some being as complex as writing a complete workflow framework from scratch to automate business processes which cut the workload of customer support executives.I scaled the shopping cart service by 10x and reduced the latency of key apis by almost 60% so that the customers can have a hassle free shopping experience. I have extensive experience in all the phases of software development. I am always up for new challenges and what excites me most is the brain storming process that goes to meet them. - Experience in performance, scalability and reliabilty in systems. - Led teams and encouraged them with high levels of mentoring and motivation. - Built platforms entirely on open source technologies. - Quick Technology Rampup/ Uptake. - Exposure to both Agile/Scrum & Waterfall Software Development Methodologies.

  • Myntra is India’s largest online platform for fashion and lifestyle products, acquired by Flipkart. Myntra has gross sales of more than 1 billion dollars with more than 15 million userbase.
  • PPS - Payment Plan Service
  • A customer while placing an order can choose a mix of payment instruments like Credit Card, Debit Card, Gift Cards, Wallets or CashBack Points(not applicable for market place items) supported by the items in the cart. On cancellation/return of an item, we should return the instrument mix that have been used by the customer while placing the order.
  • We built PPS as the centralized service which takes care of payments in the complete lifecycle of an order. Since it is a mix of debit/credits on various financial instruments, the operations had to be atomic and idempotent. I designed and implemented the data model for returns and exchanges flow which had lot of corner cases like multiple exchanges, partial return, price adjustments in case the item was wrongly priced, tax adjustments etc.
  • Address Service
  • Designed and implemented try and buy feature which enabled the customers to try the clothes delivered and return them immediately to the delivery personel if they had any concerns. This involved lot of changes across different teams.

  • Scaling the shopping cart
  • Scaled cart to support at least 10x volume and reduced latency by at least 60%. For an e-commerce application cart is most active with high number of reads as well as writes. We made lot of optimizations and architecture changes to achieve the same. Key features being migration to Cassandra and caching.
  • Revamping Address Service
  • Optimized code for address service in order to reduce latency.
  • Separated it as a micro service, migrated data to a new DB, added a new caching layer and cached data on apt criteria for faster access during high revenue days.
  • Implemented various custom features for relaying the serviceability(promise time) information to the customer at order and individual item level.
  • Implemented new apis for providing address information for internal users with role based access. This helped call centre professionals in resolving lot of customer support queries.
