Vedant Gandhi
@vedantgandhi
Backend Engineer specializing in distributed systems, async event pipelines, and performance-optimized APIs across Node.js and Go.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building scalable, high-performance systems across Node.js, Golang, and React. I focus on distributed systems, async architectures, and performance optimization—consistently improving reliability, cost efficiency, and system throughput.
At rtCamp, I built REST APIs and backend systems for dynamic content workflows, developed async event processing with retries and rate limiting, and designed a document ingestion + Elasticsearch search pipeline for scalable full-text search. I also optimized multi-layer caching (improving cache hit ratio by ~20%), reduced latency and backend load, and boosted Core Web Vitals by ~12% by improving response overhead and rendering efficiency.
Previously at RabbitLoader, I migrated a critical CSS extraction service from PHP to Node.js (Puppeteer), cutting processing time by ~43% and infrastructure cost by ~27%. I built a distributed job processing system with RabbitMQ (retry, failure recovery, idempotent execution), improved throughput by ~35% by moving Golang inter-service communication from REST to Protobuf, and reduced infrastructure costs (~40%) and latency (~52%) using optimized Docker builds, ARM deployments, and geo-based database replication.
