• Worked as an SDE for E-HVA Team, Jan 2020 - Dec 2020:
• Worked in PySpark, to refactor and redesign 10000+ lines of code written by ML Scientists on Hidden Markov Model. Improved the worstcase runtime of the feature-generation by ~80% also saving on memory requirements by reducing shuffle writes by 75%, using a custom bitset based count distinct algorithm that I designed, this helped save $10000+ for the team per year. Improved runtime of training, scoring, pre-processing and postprocessing, by ~30% by optimizing on caching, partitions, and joins Currently working on automating on-boarding process for our customers.
• Worked as an SDE for Data Ingestion, Jan 2019 - December 2019:
• Designed, created and managed a java based service for scheduling jobs according to a cron schedule for big data processing.I created several APIs for CRUD and operational readiness. Used AWS DynamoDB as a database. Created a UI over Kibana using metadata from dynamoDB streams and indexed the metadata to AWS Elastic Search using AWS Lambda. This scheduler used to schedule 5000+ schedules daily with a availability rate of over 99.99%.
• Worked as an SDE for Asin Data Service Team July 2018 - January 2019: Asin Data Service is a service on thousands of discrete applications running in a distributed environment that ensures that data from more than 40 services is aggregated for display on Amazon’s websites – 10s of thousands of times every second with minimal latency. A bad deployment to AsinDataService used to result in bad customer experience for atleast 4 hours in North Amerca region and an average of 2 hours in other region, in addition to this the team was also experiencing several issues during deployment(~High severity issue, sev-2 at Amazon) for which there was no root cause, it turned out that both were inter-related. I root caused the issue to JVM warmup. After the fix I put in place the deployment time reduced by 35+% and Number of issues dropped down to 0, from 22 per week.
