Work History

Software Engineer III

Walmart Inc.
07.2022 - Current
  • Wingman - Sam's Pricing Data Pipeline: As a backend engineer on this project, I have been pivotal in designing and developing event-based data pipelines, database tables, and stored procedures to manage file parsing, price validations, and rules engines, and to publish to downstream. My involvement has been critical in ensuring efficient and effective data flow and processing.
  • I've developed reusable components, significantly reducing development effort across various projects. I've also refactored legacy codebases for improved maintainability, enabling easier future updates. In addition, I've worked closely with the product team to understand requirements, subsequently designing and developing aligned features.
  • I've established efficient communication channels within the team, enhancing collaboration during project development phases. I've independently handled production incidents and have taken up the role of mentoring new team members and interns.

Software Engineer II

Walmart Inc.
09.2019 - 06.2022
  • Workforce Management Portal: I've significantly contributed to the design and development of Java-based REST APIs for UIs providing vital metrics to Walmart managers. I designed client-agnostic BigQuery tables and wrote procedures for data transformation and analytics. Additionally, I contributed to minor UI design, development, and bug fixes using React JS.
  • Associate Schedules Data Pipeline: I've played a significant role in a data pipeline that handles over a million XML files each month. My contributions include developing Java APIs, Kafka consumers, and content parsers. I've further expanded my contribution by developing Spring Batch applications that consume data from MariaDB, publish it to Kafka, and Kafka consumers that receive data from various streams and write it to Azure SQL server.
  • Compliance Rules Engine: In the face of a significant team change, I single-handedly delivered this critical compliance rules engine. It is designed to calculate penalties for employers due to associate schedule modifications. The engine is sophisticated enough to read and process a large amount of data from multiple tables in Azure SQL, performing complex calculations as required. This achievement underscores my ability to overcome challenges and deliver results in demanding circumstances.
  • Cloud Cost Optimization, Engineering Excellence & Technological Breadth: I've spearheaded cost-saving initiatives through pod profiler testing, Jmeter load tests, and decommissioning unused applications. I've championed engineering excellence with comprehensive ADR documentation, modular coding, and robust unit tests. Committed to team success, I've adopted new tools and technologies, managing OneOps to WCNP migrations, implementing a service mesh across applications, and creating Concord and Looper YAML files.
