Overview
I became the star performer within months and was trusted with the projects that mattered most commercially. I handled pricing modules for DTDC, one of India’s biggest logistics players, and built a complex returns and settlements system the company had never supported before.
The highest-leverage piece was a generic last-mile tracking solution — customizable enough to serve any client, which unlocked Domino’s pan-India contract and could scale to McDonald’s, Swiggy and Zomato without a rewrite.
During COVID I built contactless delivery workflows, and created RTL/LTR compatible solutions for Middle East expansion — establishing Shipsy’s presence in that region.
What I built
-
Pricing modules for DTDC
Handled pricing for one of India’s biggest logistics players.
-
Returns & settlements
A complex system from scratch, covering payments, settlements and the full order lifecycle.
-
Generic last-mile tracking
A customizable tracking product that unlocked Domino’s pan-India contract and scaled to other clients.
-
Middle East platform
RTL/LTR compatible logistics platform enabling regional expansion.
-
Contactless delivery
COVID-era workflows for safe, no-contact handover.
Hard problems
-
One product, many clients
Designed the tracking solution generically, with a customizable UI, so McDonald’s, Swiggy and Zomato could be served from the same base.
-
Returns are a lifecycle, not a screen
Handled payments, settlements and order state across the whole return journey.
-
Right-to-left is not a CSS flag
Built genuine RTL/LTR support for international market expansion.
-
Safety under constraint
Architected contactless workflows that met COVID-19 compliance without breaking existing operations.
