- Lead engineer of the notification module, a system that processes over 1.5 million orders and sends out over 200K+ notifications to end users daily
- Revamped the entire module by migrating it from Python to Java and incorporated ScyllaDB to keep tracking of lifecycle events instead of PostgreSQL. Used best practices like Service Layer architecture, and de-coupling the workflow into independent components for improved modularity.
- Achieved a 3x reduction in processing time, which significantly lowered server costs by reducing the number of Kafka workers needed to process daily loads.
- Developed a baseline framework for the module that enhanced its robustness and flexibility, making it easier and faster to accommodate future feature requests from internal teams or clients.
