Software Engineer Trainee

CISCO Systems Pvt. Ltd

Apr 2025 - Present

Architected a Next.js-based telemetry platform using Server-Sent Events (SSE), MongoDB aggregation pipelines, and Redis caching, reducing repeated database queries by 65% and improving API latency by 40-50%. Implemented an event-driven ingestion pipeline using Kafka (kafkajs) with Zod schema validation and idempotent Mongoose upserts, preventing duplicate telemetry records via unique request identifiers. Designed and implemented a weekly rollup pipeline to compact 6+ months of historical telemetry into pre-aggregated collections, reducing raw collection size by 55% and lowering long-range query cost by 35%. Engineered interval-aware time-series aggregation (weekly/monthly/quarterly/half-yearly) using MongoDB $dateTrunc and indexed queries, enabling efficient analytics across millions of records. Built a secure cron-triggered maintenance API (token-gated) with dry-run validation and batched deletes (10k+ records per cycle) for safe data lifecycle management. Added indexed query optimizations reducing aggregation execution time by 30%. Containerized Redis and scheduled workloads using Docker Compose for reproducible deployments. Developed an internal monitoring platform used by 15+ teams to track 500+ automated test suites. Implemented AI-powered job failure analysis using OpenAI API, reducing manual root cause analysis by 80%. Built containerized CI/CD pipeline with Docker, cutting deployment complexity by 90%. Implemented optimized search and filtering with indexed queries to support real-time monitoring. Designed stateless REST APIs with caching and indexing, supporting 1000+ daily internal requests.
