  • Inventory Based Offer: In flipkart, we wanted to restrict the number of units sold against an offer, hence we created a highly scalable system which could track an order(created or canceled), filter orders based on IBOs(created against offers and product ids) and on runtime keep a count of them, as soon as the count reaches the configured inventory count, the offer is removed from the product and the price is changed.
  • Role: Lead a 5 five member team, designed and implemented the solution.
  • Tech Stack Used: Mongo, Java, Zookeeper, Kafka.
  • Model Monitoring: A Model is provided by a model provider which predicts outputs based on type of model, eg Watch dial shape model, predicts the dial shape of a model with some probabilities like( dial shape is square with 0.9 probability, round 0.002 ), these model outputs were consumed by our systems. Model monitoring does sampling of model responses ( Random sampling for now), calculating metrics for the model( precision / recall) and evaluating the model performance.

Involved in bug fixes for the above flows.
  • Oracle Platform Security Services: OPSS underlines the basic infrastructure for authentication and authorization of users based on polices defined. Was involved in creating scripts and bug fixing for authentication, authorization, auditing and cluster based flows.

Infoedge india ltd.,

Intern

May 2012Jul 2012 · 2 mos · Noida

  • The project was based on Service Oriented Architecture.
  • InfoEdge(Naukri.com)
  • The project was based on SOA(Service Oriented Architecture). The overall project included developing a platform that could be configured easily for the different services available at Info Edge pvt Ltd. Our task in the project involved finding a workflow editor/creator and a Business Rule Engine that could be used to implement a business process. The rules could be defined separately for each business process and a separate workflow diagram would be associated with it. Thus, the only thing left to configure at the time of running a service would be to choose which process diagram is to be started and which set of rules is to be fired.
