Jheel Rathod
Software Engineer with 3+ years of backend and full-stack experience building high-throughput distributed systems at scale. At Farmart, architected an audit trail platform, a multi-channel notification microservice processing 2K+ daily notifications, and a dynamic image resizing service that cut asset sizes by over 50% — while reducing cloud costs by 30%. Previously built and owned critical microservices at Livlong 365 processing 15–20K orders/day. IIT Delhi graduate with a strong foundation in systems design, open-source tooling, and AI-adjacent engineering including MCP servers and LLM integrations.
Experience
Software Engineer II
Farmart Service Pvt. Ltd.
Gurugram, India
Architected and built a resilient audit trail platform forFarmartOSusing atransactional outbox pattern, Node.js/Sequelize middleware,JSONBpayload schemas, transaction-linked multi-entity events, idempotent retry-safe consumers, and customESLintrules to enforce audit-event creation inside database transactions. Engineered a scalable multi-channel communication microservice usingNode.jsandAWS SQSto orchestrate 2K+ notifications/dayacrossPush(FCM),SMS, andWhatsApp; built the FCM engine with MongoDB-backed rate limiting, dynamic instance management, and automated token purging for reliable delivery at scale. Built a Dynamic Image Resizing Service usingAWS CloudFrontandLambda@Edge, enabling on-the-fly resizing of image assets and reducing their size by more than50%. Led backend development for theB2C app(8K+ DAU) and platforms team; optimized critical API response times usingdatabase indexing,Rediscaching, query optimization, and event-driven design; containerized applications withDockerand deployed as right-sizedAWS ECStasks with horizontal auto-scaling. Reduced cloud costs by30%throughAWSinfrastructure ownership and right-sizing; improved interservice authentication security by implementing rotating API keys. Built a centralized logging library usingOpenTelemetrycollectors as a sidecar across10 services, exporting logs toOpenSearchdata streams; enriched traces viaData Prepperand reported errors usingSentry.
Software Engineer
Livlong 365 Wellness and Insurance (Backed by IIFL)
Mumbai, India
Developed and maintained backend systems across12 microservicesusing.NET,MSSQL, andMongoDB, implementing Web APIs, JWT authentication,Rediscaching,Azure Service Bus,Elasticsearch, rate-limiting middleware, and third-party API integrations. Took ownership of critical services including Authentication, Product, Orders, ShortURL, and a PDF generation service; the Orders service processed15–20K orders/day; developed a customCSV parserfrom scratch and spearheaded adoption of a cleaner onion architecture. Built internal and client-facing portals inAngularandReactserving1–2K DAU; resolved critical security vulnerabilities identified inVAPTaudits and converted HTML/CSS to PDF usingiTextSharp.

Skills
Projects
Outline MCP Server
Node.js, TypeScript, Model Context Protocol, Outline API
Built an open-sourceModel Context Protocol (MCP)server inTypeScriptthat enables AI assistants like Claude to read and write documents inOutline, a popular team knowledge base tool. Implemented tools for full-text search, document CRUD operations, and collection management by wrapping the Outline REST API — allowing AI models to interact with the knowledge base through natural language. Compatible with all major MCP clients includingClaude,Cursor, andGitHub Copilot; gained15 GitHub starsfrom the community, demonstrating adoption across AI-powered development environments.
Figma Data Fill Plugin
TypeScript, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Next.js, Figma Plugin API
Built and open-sourced aFigma pluginthat auto-fills text layers with realistic mock data using a layer-naming convention (e.g. a layer namedmobile numbergets a real-looking number) — adopted by theFarMartdesign team forFarmartOSprototypes, with a backend designed to support any team’s custom datasets. Architected a full-stack system with aFigma Plugin APIfrontend,Express + MongoDBbackend, and Next.jsmanagement dashboard withGoogle OAuth 2.0; worked around the Figma sandbox’s network restrictions viapostMessagebetween the plugin UI iframe and sandbox, with datasets fetched live so additions are available without any plugin update.
AssetHound
TypeScript, VS Code Extension API
Built aVS Code extensionin TypeScript that automatically detects and validates CDN URLs and asset links (images, fonts, videos, etc.) across 10+ file types including JS, TS, HTML, CSS, Vue, and Svelte. Implemented non-blocking background validation using lightweightHTTP HEAD requestswith 5-minute smart caching to avoid redundant network calls, anddebouncingto prevent scanning on every keystroke. Broken links are surfaced as inline warnings directly in the editor’s Problems panel, supporting CDN providers such as CloudFront, Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, jsDelivr, and unpkg.
