  • Platform & Infrastructure (AWS + Docker) — Operated services on AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront, RDS, Route 53, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch) with containerized workloads via Docker and documented rollout/rollback runbook.
    Impact: Improved service resilience, simplified deployments, and reduced configuration drift across dev/stage/prod.
  • Data/AI Enablement (Python ETL + Anomaly Signals) — Built Python ETL (/Pandas/) for orders/cohorts/funnel events; created lightweight features for propensity/churn experiments and anomaly signals for checkout/payment failures.
    Impact: More reliable product analytics, earlier detection of regressions, and tighter signal-to-noise for incident triage.
  • Search & Analytics (OpenSearch + Event Governance) — Introduced OpenSearch for ad-hoc analysis and error triage; defined event taxonomy, validated analytics payloads in CI, and eliminated duplicate attribution across environments.
    Impact: Higher data trust, clearer dashboards, and faster root-cause on customer-facing issues.
  • API Platform & Integrations (REST/GraphQL) — Formalized REST/GraphQL standards (versioning, auth, pagination), built idempotent webhooks, and added message queues for retries and DLQs for partner and payment flows.
    Impact: Fewer integration defects, more stable partner syncs, and better operational visibility.
  • Checkout Orchestration & Payments (Stripe/Affirm) — Implemented Stripe/Affirm with idempotency keys, clear error surfaces, audit trails, $0 orders, promo/coupon rules, and tax/shipping integrations.
    Impact: Higher checkout success, lower payment-related support volume, and safer retries.
  • Performance & Core Web Vitals (Next.js SSR/ISR) — Set performance budgets, shipped SSR/ISR, tuned image delivery, and split bundles; safeguarded with performance checks in CI.
    Impact: Better TTFB/LCP/INP on high-traffic templates and improved conversion on key pages.
  • Reliability & Observability (SLOs + Blue/Green) — Defined SLOs/error budgets for search/PDP/cart/checkout; built CloudWatch dashboards and actionable alerts for latency/errors/queues; added safe migrations, blue/green deploys, and feature-flag rollbacks.
    Impact: Lower incident frequency, faster MTTR, and fewer failed changes.
  • Security & Compliance (AuthZ/PII/GDPR/CCPA) — Implemented JWT/session auth, webhook signing, secrets rotation, and least-privilege IAM; enforced PII boundaries, retention policies, and GDPR/CCPA workflows.
    Impact: Clean audit outcomes, reduced security toil, and safer customer data handling.
  • Email & Communications (SendGrid + Mailchimp) — Integrated SendGrid for transactional email (template versioning, sandbox tests, SPF/DKIM alignment) and synced customers to Mailchimp segments for lifecycle campaigns.
    Impact: Higher deliverability, fewer template regressions, and clearer communications audit trail.
  • CMS & Content (WordPress + Headless) — Maintained legacy WordPress microsites (plugin audits, WP-CLI, cache/CDN config, SEO/Lighthouse improvements) and exposed content to Next.js via WP REST/WPGraphQL.
    Impact: Fewer maintenance incidents, consistent content across channels, and faster publishing.
  • Tooling & Workflow (Postman/Trello/Jira) — Used Postman collections for API regression and contract checks; ran discovery/delivery in Trello/Jira with strong DoR/DoD; documented RFCs/ADRs and onboarding guides.
    Impact: Shorter PR cycle time, fewer integration surprises, and faster ramp-up for new engineers.
  • Deploy Surfaces & Hosting (Heroku/Firebase) — Deployed core services on AWS; used Heroku and Firebase for prototypes/aux apps when speed-to-market mattered.
    Impact: Faster experimentation without disrupting core SLA-bound systems.
  • DX & CI/CD (Quality Gates + Previews) — Built CI/CD with type checks, linting, unit/integration/e2e, smoke tests, and preview environments; standardized release checklists.
    Impact: Fewer post-deploy rollbacks and more predictable releases.
  • Stakeholder Leadership (Roadmaps & Trade-offs) — Translated product briefs into scoped technical plans with estimates and risk trade-offs; presented quarterly platform strategies aligned to business goals.
    Impact: Clear prioritization, smoother cross-team alignment, and on-time delivery.
  • Mentorship & Standards (Golden Paths) — Mentored engineers via pairing and structured design/code reviews; created golden paths for local setup and common patterns; standardized reusable components.
    Impact: Faster onboarding, higher code quality, and more consistent implementations.
  • Front-End Components (Accessibility + Reuse) — Built accessible, reusable React/Next.js components (forms, modals, carousels, step flows), including Owl Carousel-style interactions where appropriate.
    Impact: Faster feature delivery, consistent UX, and easier maintenance.

Webdesk Solutions (INDIA)
07.2018 - 08.2019
  • Designed and shipped an automated invoicing platform in PHP (CodeIgniter) with normalized MySQL schemas, migrations, and cron jobs for invoice generation from project/milestone events; added PDF rendering, tax rules, and role-based permissions to cut manual billing effort and errors.
  • Built a customer-support chatbot in PHP 7 integrated with the invoicing DB and email queue; implemented intent routing, canned-response templates, and rate-limiting to deflect repetitive tickets and speed up triage.
  • Led a 5-engineer team across front-end and back-end work: set branching strategy (Gitflow), introduced code reviews, Bitbucket Pipelines CI, and PHPUnit/Cypress tests to raise release quality and shorten feedback loops.
  • Delivered production storefronts on Shopify, BigCommerce, Volusion/Shift4Shop, and WooCommerce—custom themes, app/plugin extensions, webhook handlers, and data bridges to back-office tools.
  • Implemented a one-page checkout in BigCommerce (Stencil + React) with guarded form states, client/server validation, address autocompletion, and error surfaces that reduced drop-offs.
  • Integrated external JSON/XML and ASP.NET APIs with HMAC signing, custom header construction, idempotency keys, and automatic retry/backoff; added webhook processors with signature verification and DLQ handoffs.
  • Re-architected TrackR modules (PHP services + front-end) to decouple IO-heavy paths, cache expensive reads with Redis, and add bulk/batch endpoints—improving reliability and throughput.
  • Stood up Nginx configs and Cloudflare/CDN caching rules; optimized assets (HTTP/2, compression, cache-busting) and implemented image responsive strategies to improve page performance.
  • Hardened apps with CSRF/XSS defenses, CSP headers, strict CORS, and secret management; enforced least-privilege DB users and prepared statements across data access layers.
  • Added observability: centralized logs (Monolog), request/SQL timings, and uptime checks; created lightweight Grafanadashboards/alerts for latency and error spikes to speed incident response.
  • Built Docker dev environments with parity to production (PHP-FPM/Nginx/MySQL/Redis), standardized .env handling, and documented make targets for common tasks to reduce onboarding time.
  • Planned and tracked delivery in Microsoft Project 2016 and Trello with clear DoR/DoD, release calendars, and post-release checklists—improving schedule predictability and stakeholder trust.
  • Implemented payment rails: Apple Pay, PayPal, Amazon Pay, and SWIFT bank transfers; standardized payment intents, callbacks, and audit trails for reconciliation.
  • Built SEO- and accessibility-friendly UI with React/jQuery/AngularJS/Vue, HTML5/ARIA, and Bootstrap; established reusable components, form patterns, and error states aligned with WCAG guidance.
  • Provided structured 24/7 QA support: wrote reproducible test cases, added staging “smoke” checklists, and maintained a known-issues registry to accelerate ticket resolution and improve CSAT.
