Featured Work
Agentic Workflow Platform
Leading a platform that lets teams define decision flows with both agentic (AI-driven) and deterministic (rule-based) execution models — now powering hundreds of live flows across 3 business verticals, from conversational bots to non-chat, process-based backend automations. Includes a visual no-code / low-code builder on React Flow, schema-driven config forms, and automated canary rollouts for safe production releases.
Agentic SDLC Platform
In-house platform that automates the software delivery lifecycle end to end: Brain (repo knowledge base + RAG), a DAG-based SDLC executor (analysis → plan → branch → implementation → self-review → DevBox → E2E → PR → QA deploy), and ephemeral DevBoxes that boot feature branches to run E2E in isolation. 300+ runs across 30+ repos in 4+ product groups, ~45% completing with no human intervention.
CI Pipeline Optimization
Nearly halved Bitbucket CI runtime from 15 min to 8 min by separating the build stage from the PR pipeline — so the build no longer re-runs ESLint, unit tests and other checks — and adding a branch gate that requires a PR before anything reaches main/integration.
Frontend SDK Platform
Production SDK serving millions of daily users across Paytm's mobile and web platforms. Architected with Rollup, Shadow DOM, and lazy-loading, achieving 40% faster page loads and improving Lighthouse scores from 65 to 90+.
Testing Infrastructure
Established automated testing infrastructure achieving 95% code coverage with Jest, React Testing Library, and visual regression testing. Reduced QA cycles from 168 hours to 3 hours (98% reduction), enabling 2x faster deployment velocity.
Z-One VS Code Extension
VS Code / Cursor extension powered by MCP tools, reducing repetitive coding tasks by 60%. Adopted by 600+ engineers, improving team productivity by 30% and ensuring consistent code patterns across projects.
Next.js PWA Platform
Healthcare Progressive Web App using Next.js, achieving 92 Lighthouse score and <2s load time. Implemented offline-first architecture with service workers, improving user retention by 45% and reducing bounce rate by 35%.
React Native Child Welfare App
Enterprise React Native app for thousands of users across multiple regions. Implemented offline-first architecture handling large-scale data, and created a code generation system producing 200+ screens, reducing development time by 70%.
Aura to LWC Migration Tool
Automated migration tool converting 500+ Salesforce Aura components to LWC with 85% accuracy. Reduced migration time from 6 months to 6 weeks (75% faster), delivering significant cost savings for Fortune 500 clients.
Experience
Engineering Lead · Paytm
- Leading development of an Agentic Workflow Platform that lets teams define decision flows with both agentic (AI-driven) and deterministic (rule-based) execution models — now powering hundreds of live flows across 3 business verticals, spanning conversational bots and non-chat, process-based backend automations
- Built the platform's visual no-code / low-code workflow builder on React Flow plus schema-driven configuration forms (React Hook Form) for dynamic setup of agents, rules, prompts, and execution parameters
- Automated production rollout with canary analysis — releases progress automatically after PR merge, promoting to full traffic only once canary health checks pass
- Building an in-house Agentic SDLC platform — a repo knowledge base + RAG ("Brain"), a DAG-based SDLC executor, and ephemeral DevBoxes for automated E2E; 300+ runs across 30+ repos in 4+ product groups, ~45% completing end-to-end with no human intervention
- Cut Bitbucket CI runtime from 15 min to 8 min by decoupling the build stage from the PR pipeline and adding a branch gate that blocks any merge to main/integration without a PR
- Created "Z-One", a VS Code / Cursor extension powered by MCP tools that streamlines developer workflows and automates contribution processes — adopted by 600+ engineers, cutting repetitive coding tasks ~60% and lifting team productivity ~30%
- Expanding scope into backend systems alongside frontend architecture
- Led development of a central Frontend SDK powering ~90% of Paytm app pages, rendering dynamic widgets from API-driven configurations
- Architected the SDK with Rollup + Shadow DOM — lazy loading, optimized data flow, and error boundaries — improving Lighthouse scores from 65 to 90+ and page loads ~40%
- Built testing infrastructure — unit (Jest + RTL), visual regression (Storybook + BackstopJS), and daily CI/CD cron reports — reducing regression cycles from 1 week to 3 hours
- Owned end-to-end technical delivery for a team grown from 2 to 5 engineers (senior and lead) — driving execution, technical direction, and code quality while remaining hands-on
- Hired 4 engineers (full-cycle interviewing), ran performance reviews, and mentored a report to promotion; partnered closely with PMs, QA, Ops, and cross-vertical stakeholders
