   Re-architected Login/Signup with Guest/Google SSO; shipped a zero‑regression multi‑geo rollout on a highly available central auth service.• Built a plug‑and‑play KYC framework (Digilocker/OTP/OCR); moved integrations from multi‑week cycles to a few days with extensible schemas and sync/async orchestration.• Engineered a zero‑code In-House Customer Care platform (generic API + payload); enabled config‑only journey launches and standardized flows across services.• Designed and shipped real‑time support chat (DB schema, backend, sockets) with persisted history; tuned hot paths for millisecond‑class latency under load.• Reduced on‑call toil and recovery time by tuning alerts, cutting noise, and instituting weekly reviews; strengthened availability across critical services.• Drove infrastructure efficiencies via right‑sizing, safe spot adoption, Redis lifecycle policies, and data partitioning/archival; delivered meaningful cost savings.• Led Aurora migration with a POC‑validated cutover plan; coordinated parallel system moves to execute a smooth transition with no production regressions.• Hardened security by encrypting sensitive APIs and removing a network hop (BFF → backend service); improved latency and enforced PII‑safe patterns.• Acted as cross‑pod tech POC, maintaining live trackers and unblocking dependencies; consistently shipped platform features on schedule.• Mentored interns through scoped projects and code/design reviews; accelerated ramp‑up while sustaining team delivery.
