AI Software Engineer · Bengaluru, India

I'm Harsh Nayak. I build the systems behind products that make money and don't go down.

AI Software Engineer at Jumbotail, one of India's largest B2B e-commerce marketplaces. In 2 years I've gone from new hire to the engineer my team trusts with its hardest problems — designing a payout system that reliably pays 30,000+ customers daily, redesigning our home page into a surface driving ₹10–13 lakh in daily GMV, designing agentic AI systems that take over real engineering work, and personally recovering 137,000 lost financial records in a production crisis.

what I bring

Three things I do well

Every company needs engineers who can ship products, build foundations, and stay calm in a crisis. I've done all three — with results to show for it.

🚀

I ship products that last

I delivered 11+ features for a new paid membership program — from the sign-up flow to automated customer messaging. A year later, it's still live and serving ~9,000 customer interactions every month. I build things that outlive the launch.

🏗️

I build from a blank page

Handed a critical project with no spec, no design, no plan, I wrote the product and technical documents myself, then built it across 6 backend services — delivering 18 of 23 planned items in my first 7 weeks on a new team.

🛡️

I own problems under pressure

When 137,000 financial records silently went missing with no alarms, I volunteered to investigate — found the cause, stopped the damage the same day, recovered every single record, and taught the team how to prevent it.

proven results

Work I'm proud of

Real projects, real business impact — each one verified by production data.

Building From Scratch

Designed company-critical infrastructure in 7 weeks

✓ 190K requests/month · unblocked every dependent team

A mapping system the whole field-sales product depended on existed only as an idea — no requirements, no design, nothing. I turned it into working infrastructure.

  • Wrote the product requirements and technical design documents myself
  • Built it across 6 backend services
  • Every team waiting on this work was unblocked; it now handles ~190,000 requests a month

Product Launch

Launched a paid membership product that's still growing

✓ 11+ features shipped · ~9,000 customer interactions/month a year later

Jumbotail's premium "Gold Membership" — a new revenue line for the company. I built the backend features customers actually touch.

  • Savings tracker that shows members the real money they've saved — making the membership's value visible
  • Reward experiences (scratch cards) that make joining feel exciting
  • Subscription-management APIs — cancellation, expiry status, backend-driven renewal messaging — running the membership's full lifecycle
  • Automated WhatsApp and app notifications for renewals and expiry — no manual work needed to retain members
  • Gave the operations team self-serve tools, removing their dependency on engineers

Platform

Built the Communication System every team now publishes through

✓ 5,000+ messages/day · powers OTP + 6 lifecycle automations

Teams needed to send WhatsApp, SMS, and push messages with no shared, reliable way to do it. I designed the shared platform everyone routes through now.

  • Any team publishes a message event to a dedicated SQS queue; the system routes it through the right channel (WhatsApp/SMS/PN)
  • Powers OTP delivery for login, delivery, and credit flows, plus 6 event-triggered lifecycle automations
  • Sends 5,000+ messages daily in production

Partnership Integration

Made a two-company partnership actually work

✓ Eliminated an entire category of customer-facing bugs

Jumbotail's platform serves a partner marketplace (SOLV), whose customers kept getting the wrong offers, messages, and support. I fixed it — permanently.

  • Instead of patching each bug, I found the single root cause affecting every partner customer's login — and eliminated the entire bug class
  • Designed a secure login system bridging the partner's identity platform (AWS Cognito) with ours, built so partner outages never block customers from logging in
  • Built a rollout tracker giving field reps a distance-sorted list and urgency signal for which customers still need to migrate to the partner's new app — turning a blind rollout into a targeted one
  • Routed partner support tickets to the right teams automatically

Support Tooling

Built the in-app ticketing system the entire sales team now uses

✓ 15% faster issue resolution · used by the entire field-sales team

Field reps had no direct way to report a customer issue on-site. I built the pipeline end to end, then kept iterating on it as new needs came up.

  • End-to-end pipeline from the mobile app through the API gateway to a ticketing service, routed into Freshdesk
  • Iterated it through a dozen+ follow-on improvements: multi-image attachments, dynamic issue categories, marketplace-based routing
  • Now used by the entire sales team, resolving issues 15% faster

Initiative

Fixed failures nobody asked me to fix

✓ Found & fixed a 3-year-old failure the same day I spotted it

I monitor production health on my own initiative — and act on what I find.

  • Spotted a feature that had been failing 93% of the time for 3+ years — traced three separate bugs and had the fix approved the same day
  • Resolved a login outage hitting users every 7–16 minutes — diagnosed, fixed, tested, and documented in 2 days
  • Fixed a map-display bug blocking a app feature within 1 day of it being reported

Building From Scratch

Built a pipeline that feeds real market prices into pricing decisions

✓ Direct app-to-S3 invoice capture · automated extraction

The pricing team needed real competitor price signals with no manual data entry. I built the capture pipeline from scratch.

  • Backend issues presigned S3 URLs so the app can upload invoice photos directly to S3 — no server-side file handling
  • An S3-triggered Lambda extracts invoice data automatically via API
  • Feeds market-price signals the Pricing team uses to adjust product prices
AWS S3LambdaPresigned URLs
Systems Ownership

Owned the return-policy system end to end

✓ Geo-specific policies, reliably propagated

Return windows vary by geography and change over time — customers need to see the right one, every time.

  • Built geo-specific return-policy ingestion
  • Async propagation via a versioned SQS queue with DLQ-backed retries
  • A UINode-based display layer shows the correct return window on the product page
