Experience
Software Architect
Feb 2019 — Present
My role is a mix of very broad strategy work that involves leadership engagement, alignment and hands-on deep technical leadership in some areas- Delivered the first ML based automated classification system for Harmonized tariff codes. Involved a lot of domain understanding, data collection, setting up sampling and spotchecking workflows, test datasets curation and model building- Identify and build an internal Cloud Infrastructure Platform to allow multi-cloud mobility - worked with all the engineering VPs and CTO to get everyone\'s buy-in and show incremental progress. This was (and continues to be) a multi-year effort. Huge $ savings (in the order of few millions per year) and opportunity cost for the company- Identify and build an internal developer platform on top of cloud infra platform to help with developer productivity, enforcing and adoption of broader engineering policies, provide portfolio assessment, etc. Early-mid stage of it\'s evolution. Full value yet to be realized- Discover, Ideate and Design the active-active architecture for one of Avalara\'s core product offerings - involves working with various engineering stakeholders within/across the org, communicate effectively with CTO to ensure their concerns are addressed and design a solution that can be incrementally delivered- Conceptualize, align, and deliver platform strategy amongst Engineering stakeholders, leaders and CTO- Oversee and provide strategic guidance on Engineering direction for the organization, reporting to Chief Architect (as part of the CTO\'s office)- Widely recognized within the engineering org as a good partner to work with and deliver cross-functional, cross-team deliverables where collaboration has been historically hard.
