Yash Gandhe

I’m a backend engineer with 6+ years of experience building distributed systems and scalable infrastructure across AWS and high-growth fintech environments. I focus on designing systems that stay reliable under real-world load while keeping operational overhead low.

At Amazon Web Services, I designed and led multi-region orchestration for provisioning 500k+ network switches annually across 100+ AWS Regions, cutting infrastructure and development costs by multiple millions each year. I also architected high-performance data streaming that extracts, normalizes, and distributes provisioning data, streamlining global rack ingestion operations.

I’ve driven operational excellence through practical reliability work—comprehensive monitoring that reduced blind spots by 90%, automated runbooks that decreased on-call burden by 60%, and active participation in 20+ design reviews. My approach is rooted in strong system design, performance optimization, and event-driven thinking across microservices and high-availability architectures.

Earlier, I architected production backend capabilities for Groww’s Line of Credit product, enabling loan disbursements worth $20M+ from concept to production. I’ve also built and launched 10+ iOS mobile apps as a founder, which sharpened my product instincts and speed of execution, while reinforcing my commitment to building systems that can scale with users.
