Flipkart | Bangalore | Jan 2021 - Jun 2021

Software Development Engineer Intern

Worked across React and React Native surfaces for customer-facing flows and design system components.

  • Implemented Add to Cart UI animations that contributed to a 10% uplift in user engagement.
  • Built a React UI component library for Flipkart's Design Language System with Storybook.
  • Resolved UX defects across mobile and desktop experiences.

AI tooling

Applied AI where it improves delivery, review, and operational workflow.

My AI work is focused on usable engineering leverage: documentation retrieval, workflow automation, unfamiliar-language delivery, and faster feedback on edge cases.

RAG documentation assistant

Ingests Git-hosted service docs, indexes them with vector embeddings, and serves natural language queries through a local LLM.

AI-assisted Cloud Conductor delivery

Used coding assistants to bridge a Java/Micronaut implementation gap while preserving platform design ownership as a Python-focused engineer.

Operational automation

Uses AI tools to automate repetitive scripts, surface microservice edge cases, and reduce recurring manual workflows.

Case studies

Selected platform and automation work.

OCI GitOps Micronaut

Cloud Conductor

Multi-tenant service integrated with OCI deployment targets for infrastructure provisioning and cloud-native environment delivery.

Kubernetes CRDs DNS

Private Domain Operator

Operator extension for creating and managing OCI DNSRecord CRDs, enabling pod-to-pod communication across project namespaces.

FastAPI CLI E2E

Rover Automation Framework

REST API and OCI CLI automation for device testing, reducing manual QA effort and shortening upgrade validation cycles.

RAG Embeddings Local LLM

Internal Docs Assistant

Knowledge retrieval workflow for service docs with Git ingestion, vector search, and natural language answers using a local model.

Recognition

Awards, credentials, and open-source contributions.

Employee Recognition Award

IES Quarterly Recognition Program FY25 Q4 at Oracle for Cloud Native Environments platform and production readiness contributions.
