01. About Me

Hey there! I'm Niharika Deshmukh and I'm delighted to connect with you. I recently completed my Master's in Computer Science from University at Buffalo. I have over 2+ years of experience in backend development, specializing in Java. I possess strong object-oriented programming skills and am well-versed in Spring Boot. I like building and delivering high-quality, scalable, and modular RESTful microservices that enhance user experiences.

These are recent technologies I've worked with: Java, Spring Boot, C++, Go, React.js, HTML5, and CSS. Beyond these, I have a keen interest in distributed systems and database systems, where I find joy in exploring and understanding the complexities of designing and implementing efficient and reliable systems.

03. Where I've worked

Software Engineer 1 @OYO Rooms
  • Built a multi-tenant ticketing system employing a microservice architecture (user access management, ticket management, search and reporting service), yielding a savings of 3500 agent licenses and reducing annual costs by $500k.
  • Optimized database performance of ticketing tool by introducing Postgresql read replicas and database indexes, resulting in a 90% reduction in query response time and enhanced system performance.
  • Led the development of the instant wallet refund feature with Java, ensuring thread safety and managing concurrent data access, reducing refund processing time from 7-14 days to 1 hour.
  • Collaborated cross-functionally to implement instant payouts through Stripe integration in a PCI compliant Spring Boot payment microservice, ensuring access to funds within 30 minutes of a charge.
  • Executed a stability initiative by configuring liveness and readiness probes to enhance health checks and by integrating Application Performance Monitoring and Grafana for better debugging, and monitoring across 20 Java microservices.
  • Developed comprehensive unit test cases for the Wallet Service leveraging JUnit, AssertJ, and Mockito, achieving an 95% code coverage for enhanced code reliability and test coverage.

04. My Recent Work

Taco-DB  
Implemented a single threaded RDBMS. Implemented all the components in a bottom-up way which included file interface based on Linux I/O syscall, buffer manager, schema, record layout, data layout, access methods, heap file(table interface), indexing(b-tree), query processing(relational operators, join, external sorting) and query optimization(manually optimising query plan).
Cpp
RDBMS
Query Optimization
Query Parser
Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning For Traffic Control  
Designed a multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm to solve the problem of traffic congestion and number of reduce collisions between vechicles. To solve this environment we experimented with Tabular algorithms such as Q-learning, SARSA, deep Q-networks such as DQN, DDQN and actor critic methods to find out the DQN was working best for this environment using full observation of each agent.
Cpp
RDBMS
Query Optimization
Query Parser
Implementation of Distributed Protocols  
Implemented Chandy-Lamport algorithm for distributed snapshots on top of a token passing system. Built a fault-tolerant distributed key-value storage system and implemented Raft Leader Election and Safe Log Replication in it. Achieved the consensus in leader election and log replication for the five-node system.
GoLang
Distributed Systems
GRpc
Decentralized Domain Name Marketplace  
Implemented a decentralized application for managing domain names using ERC721 standards. Designed a functionality to tokenize the domain names, allowing seamless transfer and ownership on the blockchain network. Extended the features by enabling the listing of domain names for sale and auction, providing users with a decentralized marketplace for domain name transactions.
