• Web Developer

  • Aug 2013 - Apr 2015

  Worked for CouponDunia as a scaling and software engineer for building the technical stack. Was involved in problem solving, technological research, upgrading and optimising the product. – Optimised the code and queries for faster return time of functions. – Used debuggers to solve bottlenecks, eg: one for loop was running for 10k+ times, so we either cached the results or just reduced the loop. – Built a custom profiler for MySQL Query monitoring and to find bottlenecks while talking to the DB. – Executing processes faster by adopting a PHP and Java stack where PHP communicates with Java and java returns with a processed value. Wrote the PHP framework for CD 2.0 from scratch. MVC based with autoloading library classes. Built a Slack Chat Bot (Jarvis) in NodeJS/MongoDB – deploys code to production; you write, "ok jarvis, deploy branch_name to country_name"​ to jarvis and it will securely ssh to the specific server and deploy the code (although we stopped using it after sometime :D). – real-time monitoring of our Memcached servers with NodeJS and Capped collections from MongoDB. Built a configurable cron monitoring system – Notifies when a cron fails. – Configuration of crons is done in the application and not in /etc/crontab, developers can configure their crons and just commit the file to make the cron live. Worked on algorithms for problems – Nearest Neighbourhood - based on a given lat-long pair, had to find the nearest neighbourhood. Used K-D Trees to solve the problem. – Spell Corrector - used Levenshtein's and Jaro Winkler's algorithms to perform search on a dictionary of words and suggest the closest match to user's search queries. Handled Development and DevOps for all the versions of the product, i.e India, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey and Poland. Developed Git Hooks for ACL on branches since hosting code on github doesn't support branch management. Technologies used for the Stack ​– PHP, MySql, Java, Redis, Resque, MongoDB, NodeJS​.
