Available for freelance & full-time

Hi, I'm Yash — I build full-stack products that scale and feel good to use.

A backend-leaning full-stack engineer with 5+ years turning messy problems into clean, fast systems — secure Node.js & Python services on AWS, paired with thoughtful React & Next.js frontends.

How I think about software

I like building things that are correct and fast on the inside, and clear and calm on the outside.

Over five years I've taken multi-tenant SaaS platforms from 0→1, designed event-driven microservices on AWS, and hardened APIs against real-world VAPT findings. I lead squads, mentor engineers, and run the backend interview loop — but I'm happiest deep in a system, making it simpler.

I'm backend-first, but full-stack by choice. I care about the React and Next.js layer just as much, because reliability and a good experience are the same promise from two directions — and the details on both sides are what make software feel trustworthy.

02 — How I can help

Ways to work together

Backend & APIs

Scalable microservices, clean REST design, DDD, and data models that don't fall over under load.

Cloud & DevOps

Event-driven AWS (Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, CDK), CI/CD pipelines, and observability you can trust.

Full-stack delivery

React & Next.js frontends wired to robust backends — end-to-end features, not just endpoints.

Security & hardening

OWASP-aligned reviews, rate limiting, auth (JWT/OAuth2/RBAC), and resolving VAPT findings.

Senior Software Engineer Dec 2025 — Present
Python · Chalice · AWS (SQS, Lambda, DynamoDB, CDK) · Pytest
  • Lead a 6-engineer squad within a 30-engineer team, owning integration microservices end-to-end and delivering a zero-rollback alpha across 5 sprint cycles.
  • Built the event-driven integration layer for a multi-tenant school-district platform on SQS + Lambda + DynamoDB, processing 10,000+ record bursts with strict per-tenant isolation.
  • Improved backend performance 60% via query refactoring and call batching; drove Pytest coverage past 90% and reviewed 160+ PRs across 3 squads.
Software Engineer Jul 2024 — Nov 2025
Node.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL · AWS CloudWatch
  • Architected modular DDD services and standardised contracts across 100+ API endpoints, eliminating cross-team versioning conflicts.
  • Hardened APIs with OWASP-aligned controls — 7 security headers, rate limiting, validation — and resolved all VAPT-flagged vulnerabilities.
  • Built structured CloudWatch log aggregation across microservices, cutting mean-time-to-identify on production incidents.
