Senior Software Engineer (Backend · Tech Lead) · Bangalore

• Built runtime serviceability-area computation in the Java order facade and core service, replacing statically drawn map hexagons with per-request geo lookups; holds sub-100ms p95 at 35M+ requests/day and exposes more FCs and SKUs to each customer location.
• Designed and shipped the invoice–GRN reconciliation service from scratch: Python + Tesseract OCR + OpenAI pre-fills invoice fields, tallies PO/GRN/tax per SKU and pushes approvals to Oracle Fusion; receiving time down 50%, reconciliation effort ~65%.
• Owned the BBdaily to Bigbasket 2.0 migration with a team of 3: address-dedup (fuzzy + geo + boundary) and subscription/wallet transfer; piloted 5 societies with zero customer complaints.
• Designed batch-level FEFO allocation and bin stacking plus a daily QC cron for near-expiry bins; piloted and handed over for all-India rollout.
• Rolled out the org-wide LiteLLM AI gateway; migrated SSO/IAM across 17 AWS accounts, GitHub and Jira with zero pipeline downtime.
