I am a senior engineer at Postman with over 8 years of experience as a full-stack software engineer. My expertise spans both frontend and backend development, and I thrive on working across these domains. Currently, at Postman, I serve as the Technical Lead for the Product Trust squad.
One of my key contributions has been the architecting and development of the Postman Secret Scanner (https://go.pstmn.io/secret-scanner), designed to detect leaked API keys, secrets, and sensitive information across the Postman API platform. I have implemented a robust architecture for high resilience, reliability, and performance, adding rapid failover mechanisms and stack redundancy. Presently, the system scans over 120,000 requests per minute for our 30 million users, contributing over $2 million in ARR for Postman in 2023.
Additionally, I have architected and built the Postman Vault (https://go.pstmn.io/vault) and integrated it with third-party vaults. The Postman Vault, available on both the Postman App (React + Electron) and Postman Web (React), complements the Secret Scanner by allowing users to securely store secrets locally without syncing to the Postman Cloud. Integration with services like Azure Key Vault, HashiCorp Vault, and AWS Secrets Manager enables users to retrieve and utilize secrets at runtime directly during API workflows.
In my role, collaboration is key, involving close work with designers, security engineers, product managers, and other engineering squads. I also had the opportunity to directly engage extensively with Customers along with our Solutions Engineers and Customer Success Managers to gather feedback and plan quarterly roadmaps for our engineering goals.
I am also deeply involved in org level platform initiatives, such as optimizing the launch performance of the Postman App (React, Electron). This ongoing effort includes identifying critical paths, analyzing bundles, implementing treeshaking and dead code elimination strategies, incorporating lazy imports, and establishing robust end-to-end testing mechanisms to prevent regressions.
