Architect ← SDE-3

Jun 2014 – Oct 2020 · 6 yrs 4 mos · Bengaluru Area, India

=== Projects and impact ===
👉 Decision Science Platform: Built a container-based workflow engine to enable analytics and data science on big data, with support for multiple languages, runtimes and hardware specs. (This was similar to Kubeflow, but preceded it by 1½ years)
👉 Planning Tech: Built products that enable business-users to run data-science-driven Demand Planning and Supply Planning (Forecasting, BPM, Constrained optimization etc.).
👉 Accounting Platform: Redesigned Flipkart's transactional accounting system to make it 'linearly horizontally scalable', 'resilient to out-of-order events' and self-serve. This significantly reduced time-to-market, infrastructural footprint and operational costs.
👉 Decision Data Platform: Built a light-weight platform that encapsulates 'dimensional hierarchies', slowly changing dimensions (SCDs), 'non-aggregatable facts', 'fact overrides' and 'pluggable input and output adapters' (Reverse ETL). This was a wrapper over Flipkart's central Data Platform.
👉 Retail Tech: Directly contributed to Sales Forecasting and Inventory Planning. Built a horizontally scalable Contracts Management system.
=== Role ===
Software Architect from Jan 2017. Responsible for e2e system design, scaling/quality/resiliency of systems, mentoring senior developers etc.
