Darshaan Aghicha

I’m a full-stack developer with ~4 years of experience delivering banking-focused web applications across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers. I bring hands-on ownership of API ecosystems, distributed environments, and production deployments—especially where uptime and reliability matter.

I’m recognized as an SME for critical systems and technical decisions, and I focus on integrations in regulated environments. A standout achievement was building WhatsApp Banking APIs for onboarding, cheque, and card services.

On the engineering side, I develop modular, scalable products using React (TypeScript) with Vite and modern UI approaches, then connect them to backend services with Node.js and Express.js. I’ve worked with RESTful services and GraphQL APIs, supported by tools like Postman and structured API documentation.

I also invest deeply in platform stability through HA/DR work—implementing failover mechanisms for continuous service availability, contributing to DC/DR architecture, and supporting database and environment readiness. I’ve managed MongoDB and PostgreSQL databases, configured secure MongoDB cluster setups in offline environments, deployed on RHEL using GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and supported ISO 27001 compliance processes.
