• [1] Responsible for delivering project Rolling Stone - to move out of Oracle DB to AWS key value store. I was involved in overall planning of the project with the Technical Program Manager, Senior Software Development Manager and Software Development Engineers.

The project was successfully launched just before Prime Day 2019 and observed no issues during the peak.
• [2] Launched Language of Preference feature for Deals where customers can choose the preferred language to browse/buy deals in Amazon retail websites worldwide. I was responsible for working with Product Manager on collating the requirements, scoping, designing the solution with SDEs, planning of task execution in sprints, coordinating with senior SDEs, other stakeholders and QA team for load testing, qualification and dialling up the feature world wide.

Jun 2016 – Jun 2018 · 2 yrs

• Worked as SDE in the Worldwide Deals team under the Consumer Engagement organisation where I was involved in designing, implementing new web services / features and enhancing existing functionalities along with ensuring operational readiness of the services for high velocity events. Below are some of the key deliverables
• [1] Implemented customer experience for App Only Deals in Today's Deals web page and Detail page. This was successfully launched during Diwali 2016 and same was rolled out to other marketplaces which can be controlled via dynamic configuration for enabling the feature.
• [2] Project Synergy: I was responsible to come up with the design to migrate from polling based architecture to event driven architecture for refreshing deals attributes which are vended by a tier-1 service. Event-driven design leveraged some of the Amazon proprietary technologies to precompute deals data as and when downstream dependent data changes and the same was persisted in NoSQL data store. I was also responsible for migrating the service which vends out deals data to leverage the new datastore introduced as part of precomputation. The implementation was carried out in such a way that enabled the user to switch data stores via a dynamic configuration thereby allowing  to roll-out changes to production gradually from 0% to 100% to be served from the precomputed data store. I was also involved in reviewing design for sending email notifications to sellers and vendors on deal state changes along with code reviews.
• [3] Involved in Prime Day and Black Friday / Cyber Monday tasks to ensure services are operationally ready to handle peak traffic during these high velocity events.
