• Engineering Lead for Two Technical Teams
• Mobile as a Platform:
• Built a roadmap for new initiatives across the mobile platform to deliver products as a service to business teams.
• Created architecture and peer programmed to build a high-reliability notifications framework for the mobile platform. This led to a significant increase in conversion of dormant students to start attending live classes, taking regular tests, and eventually signing up for new offers suggested by the platform, thus impacting revenue.
• Built an instrumentation framework to reduce leakage in the events pipeline across the platform.
• Designed a secure mechanism to serve the backend with data from the client.
• Migrated from monolith to microservices architecture on the Android client to accelerate deliverables by different business domains.
• Created a framework that laid the foundation for all prerequisites to start writing new test cases, including instrumentation and unit tests. This led to an increase in code coverage from 0 to 52% in just six months, reducing dependency on manual testers.
• Presented a tech talk on "How to leverage GraphQL on client applications!"
• Learning Journey Team:
• Contributed 50% IC work and managed a small, high-impact team (4 people) while partnering with teams of strategic importance to provide new experiences for freshly onboarded students.
• Improved strategic investment in tooling to support multiple experiments in the business with every release.
• Led the Android team to deliver a new version of the homepage with a brand-new architecture that could accommodate various changes based on product requirements in no time. This used the concept of a server-driven UI.
• Advocated for various tools and technologies alongside product requirements, such as migration to Jetpack Compose, building layered platform architectures that could be used as a service by different domains, and adding profiling tools in the CI pipeline.
