Saurabh Vishwakarma
Software Engineer / Backend and Systems
I design and build backend services, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. I write clean code, measure production latency, and keep systems reliable under high traffic.

About
I engineer backend systems, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure. I focus on high throughput, low latency, and operational simplicity.
Currently at Synthlane, I design and run core services in FastAPI and Go. I manage user authorization models, automate AWS deployments with Terraform, and monitor production tracing with Langfuse and Grafana. I care deeply about how systems behave under real load.
I enjoy diagnosing performance bottlenecks and eliminating unnecessary overhead. In production, I optimized database queries and service bottlenecks to cut API response times from 450 milliseconds down to sub 100 milliseconds at scale. I also built data pipelines using dbt and migrated core analytics infrastructure.
When I am not working on production systems, I study distributed systems internals, solve algorithmic challenges, and build low level tools from scratch, such as a concurrent Redis server written in Go.
Sub 100ms API latency and efficient query patterns.
Distributed task queues, fault tolerance, and resilient cloud deployments.
Clean architecture that is straightforward to read, test, and maintain.
