  • As an SDE II, I took ownership of critical platform services, focusing on scalability, performance, and significant business impact. My key contributions include:
  • Optimized the core Vehicle Identification algorithm, boosting model accuracy from 75% to 91% using a hybrid of cosine similarity, edit distance, and n-gram analysis.
  • Led the consolidation of platform APIs, migrating all microservices and client apps to centralized master APIs with zero downtime, which significantly enhanced system stability.
  • Spearheaded the design and development of the valet microservice, architecting the end-to-end flow (driver matching, geofencing, automated payouts) that drove 6K+ daily bookings and a 300% growth in the business line.
  • Re-architected the transaction tracking service, reducing error rates by 100% and average latency by 91% (from 1100ms to <100ms) while maintaining zero downtime during high-traffic periods.
  • Reduced data storage costs by 60% (saving over 750 GB/month) through the implementation of efficient data structures and an automated archival process.
  • Engineered the migration of the Central Reporting Service from Celery to a Kafka-based system to enable robust, real-time, and scalable reporting.
  • Contributed to the development of robust wallet service for Park+ (100K
  • DAU), encompassing B2C/B2B transactions and all financial flows of Park+.
