Experience

SDE 3 @ Walmart

2023 – Present

  • Built an automated debugging and on-call automation platform using MCP servers, reducing average debugging time to around 10 minutes and significantly lowering operational toil
  • Designed and implemented a distributed, multithreaded exception management system, including APIs, SQL database, and Kafka flows, to collect, monitor, and reprocess failures across multiple modules—reducing exception volume by 34\% and improving overall system reliability
  • Led high level and low level design and development of revenue-generating initiatives (Cross Border Trade, AutoCare and OPD), projected to drive over $500 million in GMV
  • Led the design and development of a feature enabling customers to receive order SMS updates on a phone number of their choice, reducing customer complaints by 4%

SDE 2 @ Walmart

2021 – 2023

  • Owned and scaled two high-throughput microservices handling 15k+ TPS for event scheduling and aggregation, leading feature development and RTB initiatives across Cosmos, Cassandra, and Kafka to improve system stability and performance
  • Designed and implemented a communication suppression framework using Java and Cosmos, to stop scheduled messages during disasters (e.g., cyclones, shootings), delivered under tight and time-sensitive timelines
  • Engineered the performance testing script using JMX to mock all available flows and recreate it in a separate lower environment, enabling impact analysis, effectively reducing 100\% of the rollbacks caused by performance issues
  • Drove code and infrastructure changes to migrate 5 production applications from VM-based deployments to Kubernetes, improving scalability and operational consistency.
