Work Experience

Software Engineer II at Emerson National Instruments (R&D)
January 1, 2024 - Present
Led the migration of 2000+ developer workspaces from legacy Perforce to JFrog Artifactory using per-site caching and per-workspace rollback, retiring approximately $400K/year in licensing with zero major incidents. Owned phased rollout end-to-end in Azure DevOps across US, India, and EMEA teams. Designed Python automation for dependency locking, YAML-based configuration management, and audit reporting; optimized shared build infrastructure via caching, parallelization, and change-impacted test selection, reducing build times from 2+ hours to under 30 minutes across 10+ global locations. Upgraded legacy Perl-based build tooling to Python via feature-flagged parity-verified migration across 2000+ workspaces with zero major incidents. Provided end-to-end L2/L3 production support and led weekly reliability reviews, sustaining 99.5% uptime and 95% first-contact resolution while meeting SLAs across multi-timezone teams.
Software Engineer at Publicis Sapient
January 1, 2021 - January 1, 2023
Designed and owned backend services and REST APIs for a Flutter/Dart super-app (SCB PointX) serving 1M+ users. Built an async processing pipeline on AWS using API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, and SQS, with idempotency and back-pressure handling. Developed backend services in Java (Spring Boot) and Python (Flask) backed by PostgreSQL, Redis, and Kafka-based event streaming; containerized with Docker and deployed via CI/CD. Improved search relevance on an Elasticsearch cluster (500K SKUs) using analyzer tuning and query-time synonyms, shipped through zero-downtime alias swaps. Raised unit test coverage from 60% to 87% and collaborated with Product and Design to deliver features on schedule.
