I am a product engineer with varied contributions in development and design of software products since 2017. I believe simple concepts are easy to communicate. Added with empathy we can create great user experience. In my work I try to improve product with these concepts. I consider myself a hands-on engineer and expect to do whatever a business needs.

Experience

ThoughtSpot - Senior Member of Technical Staff | (Sep 24 - Present)

ThoughtSpot is a B2B SaaS focusing on Business Intelligence. I joined in as a SMTS focusing on core visualization team - charting. Most of my work here was around the charting library (Highcharts, Muze – in-grown) and Vanilla JavaScript.

  • Worked on core features – Dynamic Parameters, Muze Studio (build your own charts with syntactic grammer).
  • Fixed some of the critical bugs on charts and table renders, performance issues with BFF API’s (got from 2s down to ~0.5s for larger data-sets) and memory leaks on headless renderers.

Atlan - Senior Frontend Consultant | (Aug 23 - Mar 24)

Atlan is a B2B SaaS focusing on categorizing, searching, maintaining and labelling meta - data for big data with data-governance and lineage. I joined in as a Senior Frontend Consultant focusing on improving the stability of the tests and codebase as well. Most of my work here was around the VueJS ecosystem.

  • Introduced and helped the team scale E2E tests with playwright, covering 20% of the system in around 3 months.
  • Revamped and modularized the first load page into modules. Reducing page jank and infinite looping states when a customer was onboarded.
  • Introduced the team to config driven component design. A similar style of design was built and used in pages with different combination with just JSON as backend.

Albeito - Founding Engineer | (Feb 22 - Jul 23) | Employee #2

Albeito was -1 to 0. We were a 2 person team, me - engineering and my friend – marketing. We were trying to create an outlook for personal growth in teams, shared with everyone and contributed by everyone. We were trying to make feedback and rewards as spontaneous as possible.

  • Some of the notable features: Easy rank management, OKR like goals for each team members, Cross team promotions, Action based points system, Full keyboard navigation.
  • Both the frontend (3 services ) and backend (5 services) was a monolith. Frontend used ReactJS and backend was on Golang, PostgreSQL, and NATS queue.
  • The app was fully real-time and the architecture supported offline updates too. The best part is all the objects in the app had a BusinessID.

Squadcast is a reliability engineering and on-call solution. In Aug 2021 we were recording 1Million new incidents a day. I joined as a Early-engineer pre-customer. We were a small team of 2 Backend engineer and me as frontend. We scaled it to 47 people in a span of 3 years.

  • Some of the features I had the joy to work on: Incident dashboard, On-call scheduling, Role-based access control , Launch- darkly like per organization price - planning, Migration from 1 workspace 1 team to 1 workspace N teams.
  • I owned the entire frontend codebase. Webapp and Mobile app. Introduced team to some of the major abstractions like, (our design system)[http://styleguide.squadcast.com/], Single Core for both the webapp and the mobile app.
  • Key impacts and improvements: Scaled the app to handle 1000 real-time objects in seconds. Reducing first load time from ~2.5s to less than 100ms. Handled fake mail-id signups.
  • Second half of every Friday all of the engineering team got into a zoom call and made chaotic choices, it was fun, after a long week, once we added easter eggs into the production system, gone down the rabbit hole to find the clothing shops in India using stripe. I am really happy that I introduced our team to this.
