Gaurav Chaurasia

I’m a Software Development Engineer with around 6 years of experience building and operating backend platforms for fintech applications. I specialize in distributed systems, production reliability, cloud infrastructure, and observability, with end-to-end ownership from design and implementation to production operations and continuous improvement.

At Juspay, I developed high-impact infrastructure for reconciliation and monitoring, including generating reconciliation reports across 4M+ transactions per cycle in under 15 seconds. I also built a log ingestion pipeline processing 120K+ messages/sec into ClickHouse for real-time monitoring across payment infrastructure.

I focus on reliability and iteration speed: I helped build replay systems to validate changes before production deployments, engineered API-driven event scheduling for arbitrary time-based jobs, and enabled merchant-facing risk engine updates without code deployments. I’ve also improved performance using caching (30% lower latency) and migration execution, including moving payment services with 50TB+ data and 1500+ RPS traffic with near-zero downtime.

Earlier, I contributed to data and observability platforms and built secure systems for payment and media-production workflows, including encryption for sensitive data in transit and at rest and identity management capabilities. I enjoy mentoring engineers, driving technical design and architecture reviews, and shipping systems that are secure, measurable, and dependable.
