Raghav Lohit — Software Engineer
As a backend engineer, I'm driven by the craft of building systems that are not just functional, but also reliable, scalable, and a pleasure for other developers to work with. I believe the best products are built on a foundation of great developer tools and robust infrastructure. Over the past 5+ years, I've had the opportunity to translate this passion into tangible results: ◆ Architecting for Scale & Reliability: At Booking.com, I led the technical execution for the US Merchant of Record platform migration, a complex project that required designing highly reliable, event-driven systems with Java and Kafka. I thrive on deconstructing ambiguous problems and building resilient solutions. ◆ Improving the User Experience: I owned the architecture of a new refund engine that cut user wait times from a week to just 5 minutes. This involved applying Domain-Driven Design to handle complex logic gracefully and create a seamless user experience. ◆ Enhancing Developer Productivity: At Compass, I created tools like 'Risk Assessment of Commits' and a 'Backend for Frontend' layer in Kotlin, which reduced production bugs by 75% and streamlined API integration for the mobile and frontend teams. I am always eager to connect with fellow engineers and leaders who are passionate about building the next generation of developer-centric platforms and tools.
