Harness

Software Engineer

Aug 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 10 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India · Hybrid

Engineered a feature usage dashboard for the Harness platform using React, TypeScript, and Golang. Monitored pipeline construction adherence and customer retention metrics to enhance stickiness.
Worked on fixing various CFDs & regressions within Harness’s Continuous Delivery module as a full-stack engineer, proficient in React/TypeScript for frontend development and Java for backend
Designed and implemented an end-to-end pre and post-sales automation framework using express.js. This system set up customer adoption journeys, monitored license utilization, and detected anomalies in customer accounts. Developed and maintained the workflows and the CI/CD pipeline for continuous improvements and bug fixes.
Led the development of a real-time monitoring tool to track pipeline health and performance metrics, leveraging Next.js & ShadCN for the frontend and express for the backend as a PoC during Hackweek (Harness's in-house hackathon). This tool scans pipeline YAMLs based on configurable rules to check for flagship feature usage and calculates a cumulative score for each organization, displaying scores and critical data. Our team was also declared as the grand prize winner in the "Diagnostic Innovations - Elevating Supportability" track.
Worked on the Harness Continuous Verification (CV) feature in the CD module, fixing critical bugs and integrating various APMs. CV validates deployments by integrating with APMs and logging tools, applying machine learning algorithms to identify normal behavior and flag anomalies, and automatically triggering rollbacks if anomalies are found.
Architected a versatile slack bot facilitating comprehensive customer insights retrieval, support ticket escalation, and SLA tracking directly from Slack using Express.js. Strategically phased out the Gainsight platform, resulting in significant cost savings.
