Harshit Budhraja — Software Engineer
As a Senior Software Engineer at ImageKit.io (since July 2023), I champion high-performance media delivery infrastructure—bringing deep expertise in modern backend systems and scalable architecture. Before this, I honed my craft at Postman (API Platform) and BigBasket, where I led impactful initiatives like architecting and developing an in-house product analytics platform to manage event ingestions at the rate of 100K events per minute, a semi‑automated review‑moderation platform supporting 1.2M reviews annually, to name a few. When I’m not optimizing or shipping robust systems, you’ll find me at the intersection of curiosity and creation—bringing weekend ideas to life as solopreneur through products like ipoalerts (https://ipoalerts.in) and unfake (https://unfake.dev). Beyond these, I enjoy continuously exploring and sharing learnings through blogs, open-source repositories, and public speaking. You can find a few of my talks on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVQSXEffSQWXEtChS6O55uaN3MajvDygv) Why connect with me? - You value engineering leadership that delivers performance, reliability, and user-centered design. - You appreciate indie innovation that solves real problems—without waiting for someone else to build the tools. - You're passionate about APIs, SaaS, clean data, or building in the open (#BuildInPublic)—and always eager to learn and collaborate. - You just want to say hi.
