Rapido

Software Engineer 2

Leading the architecture and production rollout of core marketplace systems — dispatch, order booking, captain search and propagation — for a 10M+ daily-order platform, in partnership with engineering, product and business teams.

01Dispatcher event pipeline500M events / day

Built and scaled the order-propagation event pipeline, publishing captain lifecycle events (received, accepted, busy, rejected, timed out) to downstream consumers. These events power captain rating, incentive computation and redispatch-strategy analysis, giving the marketplace team per-order visibility into captain behaviour for the first time.

02Real-time location ingestion200K ops / sec

Re-architected captain location-update ingestion to sustain 200K ops/sec at peak, eliminating the consumer lag that delayed location freshness. Riders now see accurate real-time captain positions, and dispatch picks nearer captains with fewer stale assignments when demand is highest.

03Dispatcher database sharding−95% write dips

Led the sharding of the allocation-system dispatcher database, eliminating write hot-spotting and cutting write-throughput dips by 95% — removing the primary scaling bottleneck in the dispatch path.

04Fraud detection & enforcement−80% complaints

Designed a configurable fraud detection and enforcement framework inside Rapido’s core fraud engine, with dynamic captain-number masking and automated deactivation workflows. Captain-reported complaints fell by 80%.

05Captain prioritizer configs800 RPS

Migrated high-throughput Captain Prioritizer configurations from SQL-backed storage to a centralized configuration platform, enabling real-time self-service changes and reducing engineering dependency.

06Cross-sell booking+15% TTA

Owned the end-to-end design and rollout of a booking flow that lets users place multiple orders at once, improving Time-to-Acceptance by 15%. Mentored interns through delivery with technical guidance and code reviews.

WheelsEye

Software Engineer

Developed logistics infrastructure spanning search, payments and developer platforms.

01SEO platform41.4M indexed pages

Scaled marketplace SEO infrastructure to 41.4M indexed pages and 6,000+ first-page Google keywords, contributing to 20% more marketplace leads.

02Distributed URL platform50K+ links / day

Built a highly available, low-latency URL shortening platform serving 50K+ short links daily at 400 RPM.

03Code generation framework−80% integration effort

Generated request and response models, enums and Feign clients to reduce service integration effort by 80%.

04Payment collection+20% throughput

Shipped multiple payment cycles and business workflows that increased business throughput by 20%.

and the stack I use to solve them.

01

Distributed systems

Event pipelines, real-time ingestion and sharded data built for reliability at peak load.

02

Marketplace infrastructure

Dispatch, booking, captain search and trust systems that shape rider and captain outcomes.

03

Developer platforms

Shared tooling and abstractions that give teams room to move faster.

04

Product engineering

Turning ambiguous requirements into measurable business impact.

A LITTLE ABOUT HOW I WORK

Curious by default.
Grounded in outcomes.

I’m a software engineer focused on scalable systems and products that solve real business problems. At Rapido I work on the dispatch path itself — event pipelines at 500M events a day, real-time location ingestion, database sharding, fraud enforcement and booking flows. Before that I built SEO infrastructure, payments and developer tooling at WheelsEye.

I care about the details behind reliable products—and the people who build and use them.
