Spends Platform: An in-house platform to streamline the creation and execution of promotional campaigns, enhancing user retention and revenue growth.
Spearheaded the SDLC lifecycle of the Spends Platform, from initial concept to design, development, release, and to monitoring. This platform runs targeted campaigns to reduce user churn and boost contest engagement, driving greater revenue.
Conceptualized and designed the backend architecture.
Led the development and implementation of key features.
Facilitated collaboration with data science teams to integrate policy models for identifying churn-prone users and recommending promotions.
Enabled product managers to create and manage campaigns, including cohort selection, scheduling, user exclusions, and promotion overrides.
Ensured reliable mapping of promotions to end-users and implemented monitoring and alerts to detect anomalies and failures.
GraphQL Federation:
Played a key role in devising and orchestrating a highly intricate, multi-phased strategy for the federation of Dream11's high-throughput, user-facing monolithic GraphQL service, consistently serving peak traffic volumes of approximately 2.5 million requests per second (150M RPM).
Strategized the federation of the gigantic codebase into 16 different modular, composable and elastically scalable lightweight subgraphs.
Strategically devised the production rollout plan, ensuring a seamless transition with zero downtime and a minimal blast radius.
Established and executed comprehensive CI/CD pipelines along with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the post-federation era, delivering a seamless development experience for all developers across the organisation while entirely relieving the platform team of any involvement.
Localisation service revamp:
Re-visited and re-engineered the localisation service to reduce the infra costs by ~80% while continuing to uphold the high standards of operational excellence.
