Harshit Agarwal

I’m a Staff Software Engineer who thrives on technical leadership and measurable outcomes. At Tummee (Remote), I provided technical leadership to a team of 3 engineers through architecture reviews and code reviews, while driving major system improvements end-to-end.

I single-handedly completed a major data migration + backend refactor, delivering 50% faster load times for user, 50% less data duplication, 40% module-size reduction, and 15k+ LOC refactored. I also drove search-system redesign by integrating Typesense, reducing zero-result queries from 40% → 5%, and led development of a voice recording feature using FFmpeg-based audio transcoding (adopted 20k+ times).

Across my roles, I’ve built reliability and insight into product systems—supervising a user-interaction analytics system for clickstream insights and eliminating system abuse via rate limiting. Earlier, I led notification-system development (50+ notifications, 1M+ impressions), improved logged-out PageSpeed scores from 70–80 → 98+, and set up Sentry for post-deployment monitoring that enabled resolving 100+ issues. I’m also the person who runs weekly technical knowledge-sharing sessions—conducting 100+ sessions—and I bring that same momentum into every new team.
