Yash Saini

I am a results-driven software engineer with hands-on experience building backend systems, event-driven pipelines, and scalable microservices. I own features end-to-end and deliver measurable improvements in performance and reliability.

At my current role I delivered an Access Overview module that cut review time by ~35% and boosted audit accuracy by 40%, and I designed a centralized, event-driven notification system to improve scalability and maintainability. I routinely optimize high-latency APIs, reduce response times, and implement caching and projections to improve throughput.

I build resilient event-driven pipelines using AWS SNS, SQS, and EventBridge, and I enable integrations such as Slack for real-time alerts to speed issue resolution. I emphasize testability and quality—writing Jest unit tests to achieve 85%+ backend coverage and adding Joi schema validation to reduce production bugs.

I collaborate closely with QA, UI/UX, and product teams to ensure features are usable and delivered on time, and I focus on automation, observability, and operational tooling to reduce manual work and improve developer confidence in production releases.
