Palak Fnu

Developed and improved a microservice-based distributed order fulfilment platform using Java, Spring Boot and MySQL to process high-volume seller orders across multiple marketplaces. Designed and implemented event-driven architecture enabling parallel processing of millions of inventory updates across global marketplaces; replaced legacy file-drop workflows with resilient streaming pipelines; integrated with leading 3rd-party couriers and e-commerce platforms; ensured end-to-end lifecycle events, retry logic, and failure recovery with guaranteed consistency.

Engineered and scaled backend microservices for client Tapzo/OneDirect, building a distributed order fulfilment platform from scratch. Built RESTful APIs, implemented an event-driven architecture with Redis and Kafka to support 50M+ daily transactions under high concurrency. Integrated with 15+ external systems (PayU, RazorPay, Ola, Uber, MakeMyTrip, etc.), ensured low latency, fault-tolerant communication, and robust error recovery. Strengthened platform reliability and scalability with modernized pipelines (Kafka-based events, Redis-backed caching) and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk). Collaborated closely with front-end and product teams to align end-to-end workflows and SLA adherence.

Relocated from India to USA and dedicated full-time effort to advanced distributed systems/algorithms study.
