Computer Science Tutor

SuperProf, Halifax, NS, Canada

Subject(s): CSCI 3110 - Design and Analysis of Algorithms.
I closely worked with 3 students to improve their hold on Data Structures and Algorithms. But, with all honesty, it was a 2-way street, where I learned a lot too, both DSA and effective communication.

Software Engineer

PhonePe Private Limited (Acquired by Walmart), Bengaluru, KA, India

E-Nach (Automated Payment Services): Developed the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) feature to schedule automated payments through E-Nach and UPI mandates or set-up reminders for investments, and handle over 3 million transactions per month.
Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification: Rewrote KYC submission state-machine for user identity verification by parsing proof documents such as Drivers License, Aadhar Card, and Bank Statements, along with a selfie video verification which reduced false negatives from 4% to 0.3%.
Platformization: Built a Dropwizard framework to enable dynamic screens with serverdriven UI, thereby taking away the need for frequent mobile application releases and extended the project to facilitate A/B testing
User Personalization: Developed a lightweight rules engine to evaluate conditions and execute actions based on user profile and activity, resulting in a ~45% increase in conversion to invest in systematic plan schemes.

Software Engineer II

Clear (Formerly ClearTax), Bengaluru, KA, India

Load Test Framework: Developed a framework to capture and replay HTTP traffic at a higher speed in a test environment and published performance results to Grafana and Spinnaker dashboards, reducing the set-up time from >60 minutes to ~10 minutes
Reduced test execution time from 65 minutes to ~14 minutes using Jenkins and AWS Spot Fleet with ANT scripts to aggregate test results, reducing deployment time and cost by 10x.
ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) Pipeline: Set up a pipeline to combine data across multiple database shards by streaming MySQL bin logs using Kafka, leading to a 60%+ improvement in query-time.
Database Sharding Bundle: Developed a Java Dropwizard library for application-level horizontal sharding for relational databases, with support for atomicity of transactions, handling nested UnitOfWork, and checkpointing.
Xander: Built a wrapper around simple workflows (AWS SWF) with a decision layer for APIs to be synchronous or asynchronous, reducing failure rate from ~20% to NIL.
Licensing as a Service: Developed a service for monetizing and limiting user exploitation of the application utilizing Python Django to float the application and Redis for database caching.
