• Architected ingestion pipelines processing 10M+ events/day using Kafka + ClickHouse with millisecond query performance
• Designed systems for horizontal scalability, fault tolerance, and high throughput across distributed services
• Led seamless migration from PostgreSQL to ClickHouse in under 3 days to overcome performance bottlenecks, with zero downtime
• Proficient in Node.js, Golang, TypeORM, Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI, WinAppDriver, and .NET (WPF)
• Automated schema migrations using TypeORM, removing human errors and manual toil
• Created robust GitLab pipelines for testing, SonarQube analysis, containerization, and production deployment
• Built a Windows auto-updater + installer, integrated PowerShell, and streamlined release management
• Introduced Git branching strategy, automated PR checklist, and SonarQube coverage reports org-wide
• Standardized event schema across microservices for analytics without needing PM directives
• Championed usage of tags and branch naming conventions to drive automated CI/CD workflows
• Investigated and resolved Kafka authentication issues by implementing SASL/SCRAM securely
• Tuned Aurora/Postgres with partitioning before leading a high-performance transition to ClickHouse
• Built dashboards, alerts, and monitoring using New Relic for real-time observability and issue triage
• Mentored interns and junior engineers who became core contributors
• Reviewed critical designs, offered architectural improvements, and led with a culture of ownership and high standards
• Frequently supported teammates during roadblocks — whether in backend, desktop automation, or cloud tooling
• Developed automation suite for desktop apps using WinAppDriver + Page Object Model
• Created self-healing, resilient test cases for hybrid (WPF + Web) applications
• Leveraged AI tools to auto-generate test cases, documentation, and boost engineering velocity
• From C++ in college to building backend, cloud, desktop, and browser-extension apps — I’ve self-learned across the full stack
• Built features using React, GWT, NW.js, Chrome Extensions, and Kafka/ClickHouse analytics
• Applied knowledge of computer networks to resolve deep platform issues (e.g., Windows updater whitelisting)
✅ Ownership over tasks — I solve problems before they reach the manager
✅ Building robust systems — not just working features
✅ Collaboration, not silos — I work with Windows, DevOps, and backend teams alike
✅ High quality and low maintenance — I don’t ship tech debt
Here are some real examples where I challenged the status quo, identified root problems, and implemented solutions that saved time, reduced errors, and improved developer and customer experience at scale.
-
🔧 Automated Dev Setup (2x Faster Onboarding)
Automated the dev environment setup using bash scripts and created lean documentation. Enhanced all microservice README files with clear project structure and troubleshooting steps.
→ Reduced onboarding time from 3 days to 1.5 days. -
📦 Repository Restructuring (40% Faster Deployments)
Split frontend and backend into separate repos to simplify CI/CD pipelines and reduce deployment time by ~40%.
-
📥 MSI Installer with Defaults (80% Fewer Support Tickets)
Replaced a 5-argument EXE installer with an MSI version requiring only 1 mandatory input (Enterprise ID).
→ Reduced enterprise install errors by 80% across 1000+ users. -
⚡ Build Time Reduction (45 min → 20 min)
Removed unused packaging steps and Jenkins archiving of outdated installers.
→ Achieved 55% faster builds and saved ~25 mins per cycle. -
📦 Installer Size Reduction (450MB → 160MB)
Avoided bundling full Whatfix Player into Studio installer.
→ Reduced size by 64%, improved install speed, and cut Azure CDN costs. -
🛡️ Default Install Pathing (90% Fewer Permission Errors)
Eliminated the "choose folder" option and defaulted tolocalAppData.
→ Drastically reduced installation failures due to permission issues.
-
📃 Unified Logging Path (60% Simpler Logic)
Combined user/system-level installer logs into a common location.
→ Reduced conditional code and simplified debugging. -
🧹 Project Formatting + Lint Rules (50% Faster Reviews)
One-time formatting sweep + enforced linting rules.
→ Eliminated noisy PR diffs, making reviews 50% more efficient.
- 🌳 Git Branching Overhaul (Saved 2 Days/Sprint/Dev)
Developers were cherry-picking and raising PRs 3 times.
→ Introduceddevelop→release→staging/UAT/prodflow.
→ Saved 2 days per developer per sprint and reduced release conflicts.
| Area | Impact |
|---|---|
| ⏱ Build Time | ↓ 55% (45 → 20 mins) |
| 📦 Installer Size | ↓ 64% (450MB → 160MB) |
| 🧑💻 Dev Effort | ↓ 2 days/sprint/dev |
| 🚫 Install Errors | ↓ 80–90% |
| 🔍 Code Reviews | ↑ 50% faster |
| 🧑💼 Onboarding Time | ↓ 50% |
💡 These initiatives weren’t just improvements — they were transformations that changed how teams build, ship, and support products.
