One project i'm proud of is my internship project which was a full stack project where i had the chance to create a prototype of a template manager , storing the data into a cassandra database, alongside using springboot and java to work on the module structure and life of the project, I then used js and react for UI. This prototype was then deployed and is now being used by internal payment team at jpmc, instead of going to search every resource, i store all the templates in one template manager and they can know just search the nav bar and get the exact template they need. I'm proud of this project not only because it was my first real project using the new languages and frameworks i was learning during internship but it also gave me the confidence of knowing and seeing that I can do this even though i dont have a degree in this field!

I was working on the large scale entrprise wide program that included multiple teams and stakeholders .During the initial phase of the program on discussion with Business stakeholders , Product Management team , PO , Tech SME to determine the scope of program , prioritization & aligning on the business objectives  and tech objectives there was multiple discussion and it was tough to get the agreement due to multiple people having conflicting agenda and need .  I received the feedback that there was lot of time being wasted and people are not aligning on the subject . This led me to reflect back and breakdown the work and structure of how we were approaching  the topics to be discussed & limiting to the required audience and building a steering committee that will be a small set of devision makers representing from business stakeholders , Product management , Technology team additional I also prepped the teams offline on the discussion topics and things they need to come prepared so that our meeting agenda is clear an we can effectively discuss and prioritize on the scope due to the initial prep work done offline . This helped me in always being open for feedback and being adaptive to the ongoing situation and doing initial ground work so that there is clear and effective communication transparency

while reviewing one of the older projects that was currently implemented in the company I noticed that there was no alerting in place if the data pipeline breaks, the data pipeline has never been broken and it never failed for the last 2 years. it was a pipeline where the data would be dropped into an sftp bucket by the customer every hour and then it was moved to an s3 bucket where s3 triggers were implemented to moved the data in to queue. So in case there is an issue with the data not being processed we would only know when the we see a drop in volume. I identified it as a potential issue with the system and worked on a proposal to have monitoring in place so we are notified when there is an error. I worked with the program manager and devised a plan on how to implement the alerting and the time lines as well as the effort that will be needed to implement it. I mapped the impact of not having it to the current goals of the company and then put forward a proposal of implementing the alerts to the business and took their buyins. after getting the buyins I proposed the task to my team and some of the sr devlopers were not too keen on implenting the alerts, I gave the task to some of the Jr devlopers and the alerts were implemented. after the implementation we discovered that for some hrs in a day we werent getting any files so instead of getting 24 files in a day we were getting 20 files a day in an average. This was rectified by talking to the customer and the missing data was solved. but this made the whole team realize the importance of monitoring and alerting. It also bosted the moral of the Jr developers seeing the direct impact they made to the business goals

At hyperface we got requirement from product team to build a nudge engine, this will be a configuration driven engine and when a condition is met based on the configured communication pattern it is going to send the communication. Example : If user have done 5 transaction is flikart and an offer is going on to do 10 transactions to get a reward we will nudge user based on the communication channel and rules that nudge him on whatsapp this much time and send him the push notification.

When this product requirement came , product wanted to build each and everything as a single engine, but at that time I realized that having a separate notification service which will take care of all notification related stuff and we will be able to efficiently scale that system and prevent having a tight coupling  will be very helpful , but when I proposed this product did not agreed as they thought right now there is no usecase for making nudge engine and notification engine a separate component.

At that time I dicsucces this with my fellow EM and came to know that they are scenarios where they need to send notification for example otps , push notification and everyone is handling this in a custom way in there own code based . With all this data I went back to product team ann pitched them that having this notification engine all this custom handling will be gone we will have better mechanism to control notification  track metricies and and improve the experience by handling failure scenarios .

with this data I was able to convenience the product team to build to different systems.

I have been working on same project since last 3 years, I want to explore different projects and learn new skills and Technologies with current market trends

At my current job one of our biggest customer raised the  issue they were facing in our notification service. The issue was they were not receiving any notifications from our system on their new infrastructure. Their production infra was working fine.

I reviewed their configuration and everything was looking fine at the same time we hadn't done any changes to on our end which could cause this issue. Since their contract was up for renewal the issue, we needed quick resolution. I setup a live debugging session with customer to understand the issue in detail and their new infrastructure. After the first call it was clear that the issue was happening during https handshake or at network layer. To keep the momentum going I setup recurring call with with them and assured them that we are treating this as a high priority. On the next call I involved our security expert and SRE team for further debugging. However the issue not futher progress was made, at this point I insisted SRE team that we contact Azure support to understand if there is any issue at the tcp layer. Azure team looked at the turned on debug logs and found that our network was default MTU (maximum transmission unit) was higher than customers network MTU and customer network was dropping packets.

Finally I worked with SRE team to lower our MTU to match the customer configuration and ran tests. After the config change issue was resolved, our customer confirmed that they could see the notifications. This was really difficult issue I had ran across but I worked with various teams to get to the bottom of it and delivered results to customers satisfaction.

Have a curious mind and approach with understanding. Talk to the person 1x1, see what's up and go from there.
