My typical week at Fynd looked like this: answer questions about infrastructure I'd built, work on whatever was assigned, help make architecture decisions, and spend 4 hours a day commuting. For 4 years.
I worked at the infrastructure layer — the stuff other engineers depend on to do their jobs. gRPC migrations, GraphQL federation, API contract tooling, marketplace integrations across Myntra, Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, and Tata Cliq. Not feature work. The plumbing.
When I left, I had a list of problems I kept thinking about. I'm building open source tools for them.
The problem nobody talks about: API contracts drift and nobody notices
You build a new endpoint. You test it manually, it works. You ship it. Three weeks later someone notices the response shape doesn't match the OpenAPI spec. Or worse — a consumer breaks in production.
