Actively looking for next challenge in Technology

Architecture Skills

  • Have architected more than 6 solutions/products so far which are running in production as per agreed upon scale factor without any issues whatsoever.
  • Componentizing the modules of the software into small pieces to identify re-usable components and extendable ones for both service side and UI side of the application.
  • Have ability to go into depth of requirement to understand the user persona (profile and usage model) to propose a better solution which scales and accommodate future extension to the framework.
  • Have worked on performance critical architectures - Sangrahana Banking application should have taken 100+ of concurrent banking transaction requests per second on a basic commodity hardware server which scaled upto 200+ rps on a production server with quad core processor with 8G of RAM. Similarly, WAMS product handles more than 2000 transactions per minute on a similar quad core 8G production DO droplet.
  • Coming up with Innovative approaches to devise an Architecture which keeps the code minimal and reusable to most extent (One project with 6 modules on service side has only 9K LOC)
  • Complete automation of services/APIs from day 1 rather than doing after development.
  • Desiging UI components in both Angular 1 and Angular 2 with HTML5 and CSS3 (and using Bootstrap 3/4 as well as Angular Material designs)

Managerial Skills

  • Managed at around 40 members team at one point of time
  • Frequently have built a team of freshers (poor/medium in technology) into a very productive technology team by mentoring them technically, teaching problem solving skills, monitoring their progress, getting them work on small pieces of software with quality in mind, acuumulating the pieces into final software product.
  • Have delivered complete WAMS software with a team of 4 freshers and a senior developer.
  • Managing the career paths for team members identifying their strengths, weaknesses
  • Constant feedback, frequent appreciations, directional guidance about technology as well as career paths to team members
  • Budgeting for the products, setting time-lines for each product, conveying/convincing the team about the product deliverables, converting the product into small digestable pieces for the team.
  • Delivery responsibility at pre-assured scale factor with quality
  • Managed the attritions effectively by prioritizing the documentation of flows from Day 1 rather than during employee exit time. Constant analysis of employee criticality at every step to identify potential threat for company and planning the proactive replacement strategy is one of the best strategies I have successfully implemented in last two organizations.
  • Documenting the Sprint planning, Coordination with various teams (QA, Dev, Leads) for better on-time automated release cycles.

What I do?

  • Discussing the idea of the product with management, brainstorming the problem that need to be solved
  • Understanding the product requirements and architecting the product
  • Preparing the product architecture for better faster solution with scalability in mind
  • Effort and team size estimation, preparation of timelines and milestones to measure
  • Guiding the team to implement the product and tracking the progress
  • Developing some core modules (both front-end UI and back-end APIs) for quality and time-bound delivery
  • Document the architecture, notes about product features and implementation notes
  • Automating the testing, deployment and defining the process and selection of tools for CI/CD
  • Complete responsibility of delivering product on-time with expected, agreed-upon quality with load metrics
  • Maintaining the product, servers, deployments, data in production along with handling customer support issues, production issues if any
