Engineering, Product and Design

A few bootstrapped ideas.

* Designed, implemented, and scaled personalized Timeline for users from scratch using Java Spring WebFlux, Apache Cassandra, ScyllaDB, Redis, MongoDB, Apache Airflow, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Microservices, K8s* Observability for Timeline using Grafana, Prometheus, Loki to monitor our data cluster's performance and traffic spikes* Events Analytics System data pipelines to capture patterns in user behavior using Azure Synapse, Elasticsearch, Metabase, Apache Superset, Azure ADX, Databricks, Python with the Data Science team* Built a recommendation engine to suggest related posts to blog users using NodeJS, Python, MySQL, Elasticsearch, Aerospike, TensorFlow* Upscaled existing blog on WordPress to handle 300k+ real-time users from ~3k users, redesigning the system and optimizing it to handle more concurrent requests using MySQL, php-fpm, CDN configuration, load-balancer* Alpha projects in IaaS for Service Mesh using AKS, Google Istio, Envoy, linkerd2, cilium to test better deployments including canary, red-black on K8s* Mentoring engineers and frequent talks on tech topics such as API Evolution, System Design, Data Modeling, Real-time applications, Event Driven Architecture, Big Data

Technical consultancy in engineering, hiring, and scaling* Helped early-stage startups in engineering roadmap by understanding the business and founder's vision* Helped build and grow the team(s) rightly suited for 0-1 and growth phase* Mentored team members to align with the business, product, engineering, and their individual goals
