Work Experience

Software Development Engineer

Jio Platforms (Reliance Industries Ltd)

Jul 2023 - Present

Implemented RESTful API endpoints using Node.js (Express.js) and Golang (Gin) for JioCRM and CustomerFirst platforms, supporting 10,000–15,000 daily order transactions with response times under 500ms for 25,000+ internal users. Developed and maintained backend microservices using Node.js and Golang for order management platforms handling 70,000–100,000 daily API requests across global operations. Integrated Apache Kafka for event-driven order and contract processing, implementing producer-consumer patterns processing 40,000–50,000 daily events with latency under 500ms, monitored via Grafana consumer lag dashboards. Implemented Redis caching (cache-aside pattern) for frequently accessed materials and product catalogs, significantly reducing database load with TTL-based expiration and Kafka-driven cache invalidation. Optimized material search by migrating from SAP API calls to MySQL with composite indexes, reducing query latency from 3–5s to under 1s across 200,000+ records. Built MongoDB aggregation pipelines for analytics reporting and automated nightly batch jobs for archiving soft-deleted records, maintaining performance across growing datasets. Deployed services to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) via CI/CD pipelines; configured Elastic APM and Grafana for API latency, error rate, and health monitoring across environments. Conducted code reviews, mentored junior engineers on Node.js best practices and API design patterns, and authored Swagger/OpenAPI documentation to standardize API contracts across teams.
