Experience

Software Automation Engineer

SofyworkJul 2025 – Present

Summary

Built and managed python and java based microservices. Automated key processes like system recovery, self-healing. Built end-to-end observability for the data pipeline: Grafana dashboards, alerting, and structured JSON logging (via Grafana Alloy) functioning as automated quality gates that flag failures and anomalies before they reach production. Supported release reliability through DevOps scripting and Appium-based automated testing, and architected a deployment pipeline that cut release time by 2 hours and reduced deployment incidents by 99%.

What I did

  • Owned the CI/CD pipeline and infrastructure for 6 Spring Boot services.
  • Built an initial prototype of the watchdog agent in 2 to 3 days.
  • Maintain 8 GB of logs and manage the entire alerting heartbeat system and Grafana dashboards.

Results

  • Improved SLAs, KPIs, and uptime from 90% to 99%.
  • Built a FastAPI watchdog agent to observe and recover services across 20 machines via Tailscale SSH.
  • Automated machine cleanups, including temporary file deletion to free up disk space.
  • Reduced holiday downtime from an average of 2 days to under 1 minute by deploying a farm watchdog agent.
  • Improved customer experience and system reliability through end-to-end ownership of a watchdog agent from design to deployment.
  • Took the watchdog agent from R&D to live deployment in 15 days.
  • Owned 6 Spring Boot services and 1 FastAPI service.
  • Processed 40 days of scheduled jobs per month for the largest client.
  • Cleaned 250 TB of disk space over the service lifetime.
