Customers love shopping our wide selection of products of more than 100,000 products (including our Private brands and prescription Rx food and Rx medication products), which we offer at competitive prices, fast 1-2 day shipping and around-the-clock convenience that only e-commerce can offer. Chewy’s commitment to customer service is the core of our brand, and our customers love us for it. We “WOW” pet parents through 24/7 assistance, advice and encouragement every day of the year. We make pet parenting easy with our convenient Autoship subscription program—which allows our customers to schedule their orders, so they never run out of their pet food, supplies and medication they need. As an e-commerce company, product innovation drives our operations, and our team is constantly striving to find new and better ways to improve our customers’ experience. From an easy-­to-­navigate website and highly rated mobile apps, to detailed order tracking and personalized “Pet Profile” features, we are transforming the way pet parents shop.

As a staff software engineer at Chewy, I have the opportunity to mentor and guide junior, mid-level engineers and loved the productivity boost I could bring into the team. I've worked on architecting and building Replenishment platform on AWS (platform that allows Data scientists to deploy their optimization models to AWS with minimal effort on their part), and had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of AWS services to include Step functions and Glue.

I've worked on several complex applications at Chewy, and the most notable are: Order routing service, Inventory management service, and Procurement platform. This the when I had the opportunity to play around with AWS services and soon started architecting distributed, cloud-native applications. Architected and built microservices on AWS using Elastic Container Service and Lambdas. I've written countless lines of terraform code to build and manage the infrastructure as code.

Senior Software Engineer/Solutions Architect

After working in Java for over 10 years, I got the opportunity to learn PHP with Laravel/Lumen framework. Over the years I heard lot of comparisons between Java and PHP, one word to describe my personal experience working with PHP is "liberating". I immediately fell in love with this language including the Lumen framework and built a RESTful API framework over which individual basic APIs can be built with just a command. This reduced the amount of time required build the APIs by 80%. From then on, the framework keeps on evolving to incorporate more and more complex features of a REST API
Senior Software Engineer
Jul 2012 - Aug 2015
3 yrs 2 mos
This is the period when I realized, I can never get bored of building REST APIs especially using Java and the mighty Spring framework. I have built countless number of APIs, including redesigning the existing APIs to improve the performance and scalability. Worked with few remarkable managers and extraordinary team members, we together built a set of APIs to synchronize the LeaseStar marketing data across different products in RealPage. With my configurable design to adapt to the ever changing requirements, this project will have a special place in my heart forever. This is the project (which has spanned over multiple years) that encouraged me to test the boundaries of the programming language/framework and rediscover them in a new light
