About

I've spent the last few years inside a B2B SaaS startup — not as a cog in a large eng org, but as one of the engineers who owned the product end-to-end. That means I've designed systems, debugged production fires, mentored teammates, and shipped features that real enterprise customers depend on. Not in a silo. Across the full stack. Here's some of what that's looked like: → Reduced API p95 latency 7–10x (10s → 1–3s) across 10+ high-traffic endpoints by profiling query plans, eliminating N+1s, adding composite indexes, and introducing Redis caching — taking database load down 60% → Built a fault-tolerant, event-driven email sync pipeline (Gmail API + GCP Pub/Sub) that serves 500+ portfolio companies with at-least-once delivery guarantees → Designed a full-text document search system (AWS S3 + OpenSearch) across 1M+ production documents at sub-200ms p99 latency → Built a deal-merge workflow that reduced days of manual reconciliation to under 60 seconds → Patched a critical access control vulnerability flagged by 2 enterprise customers and built the background service to prevent recurrence My stack: Node.js · React · PostgreSQL · Redis · Go · AWS · GCP · Docker · Playwright I'm strongest in backend systems — distributed pipelines, query optimization, async processing — but I'm comfortable owning features from DB schema to UI. I've also mentored junior engineers, set up E2E test infrastructure with Playwright, and built internal tooling that teams now depend on daily. If you're building a product that needs to be fast, reliable, and thoughtfully engineered — I'd like to talk. 📩 yashgajbhiye10@gmail.com

Work experience

Software Engineer at Taghash, May 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 1 mo, On-site, • Reduced p95 API latency 7–10x (10s → 1–3s) across 10+ high-traffic endpoints through query profiling, N+1 elimination, composite B-tree indexes, and Redis read-through caching — cutting database load by 60%. • Designed a fault-tolerant email sync pipeline (Gmail API + GCP Pub/Sub) with at-least-once delivery and idempotent deduplication, serving 500+ portfolio companies without data loss. • Built a hierarchical document management system (AWS S3 + OpenSearch) with full-text search across 1M+ production documents at sub-200ms p99 latency — replacing an external file management dependency entirely. • Shipped a one-click Deal Merge workflow that consolidated emails, notes, documents, contacts, and reminders into a single source of truth, cutting manual reconciliation from days to under 60 seconds. • Patched a critical access control vulnerability flagged by 2 enterprise customers; built a background liveness-check service with OTP re-verification to prevent unauthorized session access at scale. • Built a Go migration pipeline with resumable checkpointing that converted 100k+ locked backend formulas into editable user expressions in under 30 minutes with zero downtime. • Set up GitLab CI/CD with Playwright E2E coverage triggered on every PR, eliminating manual regression cycles from the release process. • Mentored junior engineers through pair programming, code reviews, and onboarding — accelerating ramp-up and enabling independent contributions faster.

Software Development Trainee at Cuvette, Jul 2023 - Apr 2024 · 10 mos, Remote, • Built secure REST APIs with Node.js/Express including JWT auth and RBAC — delivered as part of full-stack projects. • Improved MongoDB query performance using aggregation pipelines and selective indexing, reducing response time on data-heavy endpoints by identifying and eliminating inefficient document scans. • Built responsive landing pages and frontend features using React with reusable component-based architecture.
