• Led an engineering pillar of five, responsible for rapidly developing the loss prevention capabilities of Instacart's Caper smart shopping cart product.

• Coached engineers through code reviews to ensure that architectural, integration testing, and unit testing standards are being met consistently.

• Released a human-in-the-loop system for real-time inspection of possible shrink using video footage from the cart devices using Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, gRPC, AWS IOT Core (MQTT), and SQS.

• Spearheaded the remediation effort for the prototype HITL system after a failed retailer demonstration while I was onboarding.

• Partnered closely with retailer staff and cross-functional teams to launch the MVP HITL solution at local supermarkets, unblocking 20 new locations for that retailer alone.

• Scaled the HITL solution from zero to 800 devices across 3 continents at retailers like Shoprite, Aldi (Austria), Coles (Australia), Kroger, Geissler’s, Mckeever’s, and Schnucks.

• Developed a replacement workflow and assignment engine that reduced HITL labor spend by $5000 per day by filtering tasks through AI models, leveraging Temporal for reliability, scalability, and maintainability.

• Northpass was acquired by Gainsight in July 2023.

• Led an empowered product development team of three engineers responsible for building and maintaining a suite of integrations between Northpass's Ruby on Rails codebase and our strategic partners in the SaaS space.

• Mentored engineers through code reviews and 1:1 coaching to ensure continuous growth of the team, and the engineering organization as a whole.

• Designed, data modeled, prototyped, and implemented multiple services and microservices; leveraging event sourcing with Kafka and SQS for resilience and high availability, and domain-driven design with a command bus interface to ensure easy extensibility by other teams in the engineering organization.

• Migrated continuous integration for Northpass's library of microservices from CircleCI to Github Actions.

• Optimized Northpass's webhooks engine to ensure prompt delivery of customer event data during application load spikes while expanding its capabilities by connecting it to course enrollment and learning path events.

• Enabled Northpass's custom Salesforce AppExchange application to retain historical course progress.

• Created a bespoke integration between the HackerRank Academy and ChurnZero, using AWS Glue and Lambda.

• Embedded the Workato workflow engine seamlessly into the Northpass product, leveraging existing webhooks and APIs to streamline the development process.

• Leveraged Workato's built-in connectors to quickly release integrations that synchronize client learning data with Gainsight, Zendesk, and Iterable.

• Configured local development environments with Docker Compose, staging and production environments with Kubernetes, and continuous integration with Github Actions

• Mentored a team of 20 engineers based in Mumbai on software development fundamentals like Object Oriented Programming, Test-Driven Development, DRY, orthogonality, and idempotence.

• Ported the suite of marketing tags on vitaminshoppe.com from Signal to Google Tag Manager on an emergency basis after an unexpected data flow interruption.

• Choreographed sourcing of updated technical requirements and data flow validation with internal stakeholders and external providers, as part of the tag manager migration.

• Led a team consisting of three engineers, a quality analyst, and a product manager responsible for upgrading from AngularJS 1.5 to Angular 8 without interrupting ongoing feature development.

• Implemented a hybrid module approach with ngUpgrade, allowing the two versions of Angular to operate in tandem at runtime.

• Built a NodeJS middleware between Aptos One (POS) and JDA (ERP) which converted the incoming REST requests to XML payloads that JDA understood. The middleware was deployed using dockerhub and kubernetes.

• Automated the aggregation of data for consumption by in-store digital displays, enabling the stores team to avoid needing a tedious manual data collation process.

• Introduced Typescript to the front-end stack of vitaminshoppe.com, providing instant validation of data formats being passed throughout the codebase.

• Converted the front-end application architecture from bare controllers and template-directives to reusable components and singleton services.

• Migrated the build process from RequireJS to Webpack, enabling us to lazy-load JS modules, CSS stylesheets, and HTML templates, thereby decreasing website load time.

• Established front-end coding standards with SonarJS and Prettier, enforced as part of the CI build.

• Implemented an automated front-end build process for vitaminshoppe.com, integrating RequireJS with Jenkins CI.
