Datadog

Datadog is a top cloud monitoring and security platform, I held the role of Software Engineer II.

Member of Security Monitoring team. Authored RFC, developed platform interface, and API to streamline log attribute enrichment with security information like threat-intel and geo-IP. Optimised high load service by removing mongo dependency. Tech — Java, Python, Kubernetes, Kafka

Shuttl

Shuttl is India's largest office commute provider, I held roles of software-engineer and senior software engineer. Member of the Platform team. Built core backend services and APIs such as bookings, trips, reservations, ETA, and occupancy. Tech — Python, Flask, AWS, Docker, Micro-services, DDD, React

• Part of the team that re-wrote the monolith backend into modern service-oriented architecture from scratch. Applied domain-driven design, to make software that is "soft" - easy to change and speaks the business language. This greatly improved our engineering agility and robustness
• Owned ETA and tracking development which is a critical part of our product experience. With collaboration among Tech, Product, and Analytics we pushed on-time Shuttl's from ~60% to 90% Simultaneously cutting the absurd cost of Google's direction API.
  I wrote about this journey, check out my retrospective.
• I was also in a 2-person code quality squad, responsible for reviewing all pull requests - ensuring quality, developing patterns for common problems in a rapidly growing codebase and team.
• Mentoring backend engineers in paired feature development and training sessions. Here's a writeup on instrumentation

Product Engineer at Kayako

Fullstack Product development experience in a B2B SaaS startup (pre-acquisition). Working among talented engineers that pack a punch, making an awesome product even more awesome 📈

• Developed and shipped features, improvements, and also, patches for some very elusive bugs. I've worked across the stack involving: Product API, few backend Micro-services (Python/Elixir), and sophisticated frontend applications (Vue/Ember)
• Implemented performance improvements in few backend APIs with Redis, HTTP caching, and content tweaks. Also improving Messenger widget boot time by ~80% on slower networks.
• Distributed workload among email-service instances with consistent hashing, used consul for service discovery.
• Added support for messenger customization with runtime configuration supporting styles, texts, business-hours.

Kayako internship

An amazing summer internship at Kayako. Worked on developer.kayako.com's content and search. Read my post!

• Optimized content generation using Jekyll, improved developer productivity in updating portal.
• Improved CI build time
• Integrated Algolia search across the site. Generated search indexes on the backend with Ruby, then made a search widget on the frontend.

TeleType

Think google-meet but for developers - A realtime collaboration tool with terminal-sharing, voice, notes, code-sharing, whiteboard, and more. It's end-to-end encrypted, built to be privacy focussed and extensible.
This is a re-write of my older project "oorja". There's a lot I've learnt since university days, this time it has a solid architecture and design that I can be confident with. It's powered by Elixir backend, React-Typescript frontend.

• GitHub for terminal sharing cli-tool

I've been playing around with Elixir, learning functional programming. It's a fascinating technology with an awesome community. Here are some of my experiments:

• Redex: A naive redis-server implemented in elixir - TCP server, streaming RESP parser, few commands like get, set, setx. All done with TDD. ~Jan 2019
• I've also completed a few Hack-Attic challenges.
  Side-note: This style of programming challenges is awesome, I always learn something new.
• A microservice used in oorja for realtime messaging between room participants and relaying important events that happen at the backend. ~March 2018

Email-Trail

A python package to analyse hops taken by an email to reach you. Gives structured information about each hop - Hostname, Protocol used, Timestamp, and Delay. Github
Also made a small Webapp for ease of use (hosted on free heroku, may take a few seconds to spin up). Github for webapp

TDD proved amazing for this python module. It forces you to think how to structure your code and gives confidence when refactoring.

oorja - [alpha version]

Final year of university, I wanted to develop a polished application end to end. It's still in alpha though, that last 10% of product development takes exponential effort compared to the first 90%.
About oorja:
Effortless video-voice chat application with realtime collaborative features. Extensible using react components 🙌. The apps are react components which utilize a simple but powerful mini-api (using props and some event listeners) to add more capabilities to the room on demand
