Rajat Batra — Software Engineer
👋 Hey, I’m Rajat Batra — a Software Engineer with 2.5+ years of experience building and scaling high-performance backend systems. 💻 At Coinbase, I own and scale our in-house Risk Rules Engine, built with Golang + OPA/Rego, processing 20M+ transactions daily at 2.5K+ RPS with sub-200ms latency and 99.99% uptime. I’ve implemented observability and anomaly-detection pipelines using Datadog that cut MTTR by 40%, and led backend initiatives that protected $25M+ from fraud and generated $14M+ in new revenue. ⚙️ Before that, I worked at BYJU’S, where I led Kafka migrations, built microservices, and optimized data pipelines, improving system throughput and scaling infrastructure efficiency by 25–30%. 🧠 I’m passionate about system design, distributed systems, observability, and reliability engineering — I love solving complex production challenges and making systems faster, safer, and more reliable. ✍️ Outside of work, I write about algorithms and backend engineering (2 articles published on GeeksforGeeks) and regularly solve DSA problems to keep my fundamentals sharp. 🤝 Always open to connecting with fellow engineers and exploring impactful backend opportunities 🚀
