Senior Software Engineer at Ola Krutrim. Here at Ola, I am responsible for VPC ( Virtual Private cloud ) & Notification Engine which is enabling Krutrim cloud ( https://cloud.olakrutrim.com/ ) to offer Cloud & AI solution.

Transitioning to a specialist role, I spent more time these days on architecture, scalability, and solving complex business requirements. I also contribute to team building, process improvement, requirement gathering, stakeholder discussions, and planning product development phases and Sprint release cycles. Key Achievements: - Migration of Ola consumer & Ola electric workload ( 14 Million MAU ) from AWS to In-house Public cloud service for Security ( IAM ) and Networking Management plane perspective. Leading to the overall saving of 900k USD per year. - Redesign of Payment Backend Infrastructure for Remittance Platform: Processed B2B batch payments through 50+ banking partners and payment aggregators across SEA & Europe, handling $400 million in payouts over 3 years. - Building Contextual Analysis Data Pipeline for the AVOD Ad-Server: Processed 10,000+ newly published foreign language articles daily, including an ML pipeline to reduce overall costs.
