Symphony Commerce (formerly sneakpeeq Inc) provides retailers the ability scale their businesses by handling operations beyond manufacturing. By reducing the pain of dealing with warehousing, shipment, taxation, international commerce concerns, fraud, returns, etc. our customers can stay focus and excel in advancing their brands and products.

I joined the company as a ML/personalization engineer. Recognizing the need for proper engineering discipline and tools to ensure system stability and scalability, I introduced processes and tools like code review (phabricator), deployment (fabric and later ansible) to enforce proper engineering practices, while built up caching, security, reporting, queuing, etc to enable scalability. During the four years with symphony, I have participated heavily in building out and mentoring the engineering team, as well as advising for company value, vision, communication, and execution.
