My work & field notes

Hi, I’m Anurag.

I’m currently leading Multi-Agent Pathfinding (MAPF) for warehouse robotics automation at GreyOrange.

I work across backend engineering, system architecture, and team leadership. My core backend languages are Python, Erlang, and Elixir.

01 Multi-Agent Pathfinding

Coordinating paths,
clearing congestion.

My role MAPF leadership at GreyOrange

I’m leading the rearchitecture of the software that plans and coordinates robot traffic across a shared warehouse.

The focus is to reduce congestion, resolve deadlocks faster, and improve overall navigation efficiency.

Illustrative MAPF example Software coordination, one step at a time.

When several paths share an aisle, robots need to coordinate access. Waiting and rerouting can help avoid conflicts and keep the fleet moving.

02 System architecture

Decomposing
a monolith.

I led the decomposition of a large Erlang monolith into independently deployable microservices.

The challenge was carrying out the decomposition while the system was still running. That meant coordinating architectural changes alongside ongoing operations and development.

Changing the architecture while keeping day-to-day work moving.
