  • Joined as the founding engineer in the team. Contributed from building the learners portal to setting up the initial infrastructure over AWS, leveraging terraform as an IaC tool, PostgreSQL, Docker setup to then stabilizing the product, load testing using Artillery & scaling it for initial customer base of 50k. In this process also mentored the new hires by taking appropriate knowledge sharing sessions.
  • Designed & Developed NodeJS Backend for Payment Application using Microservice Architecture hosted on EC2. It included automatic invoice generation with Puppeteer library delivered to customer via SES, Auto enrollment with decoupling of system via Redis queue & Coupon code management system from scratch.
  • Implemented fully managed container orchestration service with ECS that helps all of our products easily deploy, manage, and scale. This has saved 3x cost for AWS billing & also scaled our application on runtime. Along with Infrastructure revamp, also set up CI/CD pipeline using GitHub actions & different production/staging environment for developer ease.
  • Proposed and led the adoption of a third-party application for admin functionality, instead of developing an in-house solution, significantly accelerating the release timeline. Successfully executed major content uploads within two weeks, saving approximately two months of development effort. Negotiated effectively to secure nearly 10,000 credits, allowing the company to utilize the application free of charge for almost an year.
