Software Development Engineer II ·Zomato

• Built a self-maintaining integration-testing system for microservices — Go with embedded bash, GripMock under the hood. Each service tests against the latest mock images of its upstreams; on green, its own test cases are compiled into JSON stubs and published as its mock image for downstreams. Tests become the stubs — the mock chain evolves with the codebase, no humans in the loop.
• Built a profiling-intelligence service + VS Code extension pair. The service polls Datadog's pprof endpoints across every service, parses profiles with Google's pprof library, and merges each run into history — using git diffs to translate old line-level data onto the new code before merging, so a function's profile history survives every refactor. The extension resolves your repo and commit hash against the service and renders those insights directly in the editor. Simple, but effective.
• Extended the org-wide Datadog tracing library with a multitracer — one OTel tracer interface, two children. Datadog keeps doing its job untouched; a custom OTel SDK tracer samples 0.01% of production throughput and harvests the business tags riding on each call to estimate what every business feature actually costs to run. Built inside the SDK's internals — batch processors, flush semantics — not around them.
• Maintained Plato, the org's context platform — a fork of an open-source RAG stack — kept current with upstream releases and bug fixes. It indexes Confluence, Slack, and internal docs, and answers questions through a Slack bot — the primary context source for fast on-call resolution.
• Maintained the org's Preview Environment: comment on any open PR and it ships to its own ECS cluster running parallel to dev — Kuma routes the tester's calls to that build while every upstream and downstream service stays on shared dev.

Software Development Engineer ·Zomato

The consumer-subscriptions era: Zomato Gold, DC Packs, Brand Packs.

• Core engineer on the Zomato Gold launch — owned the homepage and restaurant-search surfaces end to end, shipping two homepage generations in parallel through live design revisions.
• Built the homepage banner platform for Gold: hardcoded banners became dashboard-managed — per-city and per-cohort targeting with priority control, zero deploys — with impression/tap tracking over a Kafka pipeline that auto-hides a banner once a customer has seen it enough.
• Owned Gold Delights end to end — from open product questions (why, what, how) to launch, working across internal and external teams.
• Took charge of the Redis optimization push after a peak-traffic incident — cache hit rate up from 55% to 93%, peak shard fleet cut from 35 to 15, rolled out without a single reliability blip.
• Infrastructure that outlived the features: the month-end revenue-events pipeline for Gold purchases (Kafka + ETL + Airflow), RPC batching optimizations, and a panic-recovery wrapper that pages on-call whenever a service silently recovers from a panic.

Tech Intern ·Zomato

• Built a cross-platform Flutter app for card payments, from Figma design to working flow — PCI-compliant card storage with a tokenize-once, transact-by-token pattern against the payments API.
• Modularized the app to embed inside the native iOS and Android apps, and wrote a Flutter plugin that exposes functions from local .aar / .xcframework binaries to Dart — integrated end to end on Android.
