What I Did

  • Built end-to-end Stripe integration for a pay-as-you-go billing model — developed the React frontend for plan selection and payment flows, Go backend APIs for subscription management and invoice processing, and a Python cron job for automated usage metering and reporting. Owned the full lifecycle including testing, staging verification, and production deployment.
  • Designed and developed a Metrics Explorer feature from scratch (similar to Grafana Explore) — conducted in-depth research into Grafana’s open-source codebase to understand query building patterns, time-range selection, and visualization rendering. Implemented an optimal solution with query building, real-time metric visualization, and an intuitive UI for exploring observability data.
  • Developed multiple AI-powered features including natural language to PromQL/LogQL translation — architected the full pipeline end-to-end: React frontend with a conversational interface → Go API layer for request handling and auth → AI service for query generation → MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for tool integration. Enabled users to query metrics and logs using plain English instead of complex query languages.
  • Led a major initiative to redesign 50+ Control Plane APIs — performed comprehensive analysis of existing REST APIs, database schema, and data relationships; identified inconsistencies and inefficiencies; created a detailed migration plan with backwards compatibility strategy; and executed end-to-end implementation rewriting APIs in Go with updated React frontend integration for all affected dashboards and workflows.
  • Migrated the marketing website from Gatsby to Astro — reduced build times from 8 minutes to 2 minutes (75% improvement), significantly improved Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, FID, CLS) across all pages, and simplified the content authoring workflow for the marketing team.
  • Migrated the documentation site from Docusaurus to Astro Starlight — eliminated redundant double deployments that were causing versioning issues, reduced infrastructure costs, and improved the developer documentation experience with better search and navigation.
