About

Hi there! I’m a Software Development Engineer III at Hevo, where I’ve worked on solving some of the most complex challenges in the ETL and real-time data infrastructure space. I graduated in 2022 with a degree in Computer Science, specializing in systems and core computing. My technical toolkit includes hands-on experience with Java, Kafka, Docker, gRPC, Gradle, JFR and many more. I also bring deep knowledge of log-based data systems, including MySQL Binlog, Postgres WAL, and MongoDB Oplog & Change Streams. I’m passionate about building robust, scalable systems and constantly push myself to grow as an engineer. My long-term goal? To be in the top 1% of engineers -- not just in skill, but in impact. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new technologies and getting my hands dirty with side projects. I’m especially curious about the evolving landscape of LLMs, the math behind complex algorithms, the possibilities of quantum computing. Further, I’m also learning German (gerade B2-Niveau!). And of course -- everything runs smoother with a strong black coffee in hand ☕.

1.) Built Connector Framework SDK from scratch, simplifying the development of ETL connectors on the Hevo platform. Designed for minimal customer code, the SDK supports both internal and external connectors, streamlining and standardizing connector development across the board.
2.) Led infrastructure and deployment efforts for the Connector Framework, involving technologies like Gradle, Ansible, BOM, AWS Fargate, gRPC, CircleCI, and Jinja templates.
3.) Redesigned schema handling architecture to support high-volume schema changes — reducing processing time from hours to minutes and improving system resilience and scalability. (Big Impact on Product)
4.) Identified performance bottlenecks using Java Flight Recorder (JFR) flame graphs, and implemented parallelization strategies that improved product performance by 20x.
5.) Diagnosed and resolved a critical issue in Netsuite SuiteAnalytics Test Connection by working closely with customers and the official SuiteAnalytics team. The issue involved deep debugging of intermittent OAuth 1.0 connection errors despite valid credentials.
6.) Fixed a major SQL Server bug that caused data loss due to incorrect COLLATE ordering. Performed deep-dive RCA across millions of records to isolate and resolve the issue.

Jun 2022 – Aug 2024 · 2 yrs 2 mos

1.> Collaborated on the development of a JDBC database ETL connector responsible for seamlessly replicating data from Oracle Netsuite Analytics to customers' data warehouses with near real-time synchronization and zero data loss. This highly utilized integration is currently employed by a global customer base.
2.> Successfully identified and optimized the performance of the MongoDB connector, implementing specific enhancements tailored to Kafka and the existing architecture. As a result, the average lag in all production pipelines was significantly reduced by approximately 3-4 minutes compared to the previous average lag of over 45 minutes.
3.> Made substantial contributions to the company's codebase, incorporating essential functionalities while adhering to best practices in object-oriented programming, design principles, and clean code. Extensively utilized REST APIs, OAuth 2.0, SQL databases, and core Java-8 features in these endeavors.
4.> Undertook extensive research and effectively resolved a complex real-time estimation challenge associated with event ingestion, transformation, and loading. This achievement enabled the dynamic and highly accurate prediction of expected data loading time at the destination. The research and subsequent work involved advanced mathematical and statistical analysis, intricate SQL query composition, and seamless integration with REST APIs.
5.> Demonstrated expertise in debugging and resolving customer issues within the agreed-upon Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 24 hours during on-call responsibilities. Consistently assisting customers during these week-long duty cycles, which occurred every 1.5 months, significantly enhanced debugging skills and problem-solving abilities.
