@prasantabose
Backend engineer specializing in distributed systems, cloud-native APIs.
What I'm looking for
I am a backend engineer with over eight years building distributed systems, cloud-native applications, and high-performance APIs using Node.js and TypeScript.
I have driven major performance and cost improvements—redesigning checkout flows to achieve exactly-once delivery, slashing p99 latency dramatically, and eliminating hundreds of terabytes of duplicate storage while cutting storage and egress costs by about 30%.
I partner closely with infra and product teams to deliver end-to-end features such as media uploaders, adaptive streaming, and migrations (Vue 2 to Vue 3) with zero downtime, which increased product adoption and reduced support tickets.
I focus on system design, reliability, and measurable business impact—optimizing databases, implementing event-based flows to recover lost revenue, and delivering scalable backends for high-traffic products.
