# Altaf Ahmad on Tal

## Headline

Senior Software Engineer \| Backend · Distributed Systems · Cloud Infrastructure \| DevRev · IIT KGP · DAAD Scholar · Published @ ECML\-PKDD

## About

I joined DevRev as an intern when the product was early\-stage\. Four years later, I've shipped core infrastructure that engineering teams at thousands of companies depend on daily\. At DevRev, I design and own distributed backend systems in Go on AWS: workflow orchestration engines, global snap\-in deployment architecture, enterprise security frameworks, and template management platforms\. My background is unusual for a backend engineer: Integrated MS in Mathematics and Computing from IIT Kharagpur \(JEE Advanced AIR 1208 among 1\.2M candidates\), a summer doing ML research on climate anomalies at University of Tübingen on a DAAD scholarship, and a published paper at ECML\-PKDD 2022 in NLP\. The math instinct makes me faster at the hard parts of distributed systems — consistency models, failure modes, algorithmic complexity at scale\. I write Go\. I think in systems\. I care deeply about correctness and craft\. altaf623a@gmail\.com \| https://github\.com/altafdevrev
