SDE-1

Jul 2025 – Present · 8 mos · Noida · On-site

1. Integrated a deterministic regression testing framework leveraging Spring AOP and MITM proxy–based request interception to capture live request flows and perform automated build-to-build comparisons using production data. Implemented end-to-end request correlation using trace IDs and persisted behavioral differences in MongoDB, enabling early detection of regressions beyond existing QA automation and improving deployment confidence.
2. Contributed to the development of Paytm Rap Song, a personalized user engagement feature that generates rap-based summaries of users’ annual transaction activity, enhancing user interaction and platform engagement.
3. Developed an MCP server and AI agent, all integrated with a Slack bot to simplify production debugging by allowing developers to retrieve transactional data through natural language prompts, reducing reliance on complex database queries and accelerating issue resolution.
