About

I build products from zero to one - and then scale them. In almost every role I've held, I've been the early or founding engineer: the person who ships the first version, sets up the architecture, and takes something from an empty repo to a product in users' hands. First engineering hire at Zorp (pilot SaaS product shipped in 23 days), founding engineer on BharatPe's lending stack (delivered a new NBFC tech stack in 1.5 months, to first disbursal), and the engineer behind Bajaj Finserv Health's core Post-Sale APIs and Gupshup's WhatsApp merchant onboarding. Backend-focused (Java, Reactive Java, Python), at home in distributed systems - Kafka, Redis, Temporal, Kubernetes, AWS. I gravitate toward the early startup stage, where ownership is high, and the roadmap is still being written. I also write about system design, scalability, and distributed systems (400K+ yearly impressions on LinkedIn, 20K+ on Medium). Currently SDE-2 at Snabbit. Always happy to talk with teams building something early. 📧 239yash@gmail.com · 🔗 239yash.github.io/portfolio
