## About

👋 Hi, I’m Harshavardhan Mamidipaka — a Software Engineer building scalable backend and AI\-driven systems for fintech\. 🚀 At POP UPI \(A Razorpay Company\), I design high\-throughput microservices and optimize APIs powering real\-time UPI and card transactions\. I’ve built event\-driven systems, caching layers, and secure payment infrastructure handling mission\-critical financial flows at scale\. ⚡ Previously at DRW, I worked on ultra\-low\-latency systems, improving execution latency from 2\.3 ms → 1\.9 ms \(\~17%\) through network optimizations and co\-located infrastructure\. I also built data pipelines and integrated ML for real\-time anomaly detection\. 🧠 At DRDO–CAIR, I deployed TFX pipelines processing 1M\+ daily transactions and automated CI/CD workflows for scalable ML systems\. 💡 I specialize in Distributed Systems, Backend Engineering, and Production ML — solving challenges around latency, scalability, and reliability\. 🏆 Led the Entrepreneurship Cell at IIIT Sri City, organizing hackathons and events for 3000\+ attendees\. 📩 Open to collaborating on high\-impact systems and backend/AI engineering opportunities\.
