  • During my time as a Software Engineer II at Snapdeal.com, I was involved in several key projects that greatly contributed to the company's operational efficiency and effectiveness.
  • One of my significant contributions was to the 'Pricing Engine,' an aggregation engine designed to calculate the effective pricing of products by going through multiple rules-based configurations to reach a price point. I developed new features in the Pricing Engine and added the capability to scrape competitors' prices, enabling Snapdeal to stay competitive in the market. This involved scraping the pricing of competitors and integrating that data into our pricing strategy.
  • Additionally, I worked on the 'Cashback Engine,' a system used for calculating cashback values for sellers based on different rules. I developed the A/B/C/D feature in the Cashback Engine, enhancing its flexibility and functionality.
  • I also contributed to the 'Shipping Engine,' a system used to calculate shipping charges according to different rules. I developed new algorithms and enhanced the current shipping engine, optimizing the shipping costs for both Snapdeal and its sellers.
  • Furthermore, I designed and developed the 'Seller Penalty' project in the seller ecosystem. This system calculates the seller penalty based on the order returns percentage and bad rating percentage, promoting better service quality from the sellers.
