About

Experienced Software Development Engineer with a strong background in building scalable, reliable, and secure cloud-native systems. At Flipkart and previously at Microsoft, I’ve delivered critical infrastructure solutions spanning deployment automation, observability, high availability, and compliance in both global and sovereign cloud environments. My expertise includes designing microservices, APIs, and orchestration pipelines using C#, .NET, Azure SDKs, Azure Functions, and more. I take pride in improving system health, operational efficiency, and developer experience through better tooling, automation, and telemetry. I thrive in high-impact environments and enjoy collaborating across teams to solve hard engineering problems. Currently exploring remote backend/platform roles in globally distributed systems. Key Areas: Azure | C# | .NET | Cloud Architecture | DevOps | Infra Engineering | Observability | Scalability | Compliance Automation | Deployment Pipelines

  • Contributed to the core recommendation infrastructure powering personalized experiences across Flipkart, focusing on building scalable, resilient systems that serve millions of users. Played a key role in enhancing system reliability and observability through robust metrics, logging, alerting, and auto-scaling strategies. Collaborated closely with product and data teams to translate complex recommendation use-cases into high-impact, production-grade solutions.
  • My key contributions were:
  • Designed and implemented an end-to-end integration testing framework for the Ranking of Listing Service, enabling validation across multiple upstream and downstream dependencies, significantly improving release confidence and reducing production issues.
  • Led the “Speed Track” initiative, focused on prioritizing listings with faster delivery promises to improve user experience:
  • (i) Enhanced service architecture to accurately compute and surface delivery SLAs across homepage and product page recommendation widgets, integrating multiple dependent systems.
  • (ii) Redesigned the ranking pipeline to incorporate delivery SLA as a core feature in the prediction model, influencing listing prioritization.
  • (iii) Drove measurable business impact by improving overall click-through rate (CTR) by 13%, directly contributing to higher user engagement and conversion.
