Priyal Bhagwanani — Backend Engineer
Priyal's been a Backend Engineer with 5+ years of experience building high-scale, low-latency backend systems for both large internet companies (Flipkart) and global trading platforms (Morgan Stanley). I specialize in Java, distributed systems, microservices, performance engineering, and designing fault-tolerant services that power real-time financial and payments ecosystems. Technically strong in: Java 17+, Spring Boot, Microservices, Multithreading, Concurrency, Kafka, Storm, Redis, SQL/NoSQL, GraphQL, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP/AWS, distributed system patterns, async I/O, and high-availability architectures. I thrive in teams that build low-latency, high-performance, resilient systems at scale, especially in payments, fintech, trading, infra, and platform teams. History: At Flipkart (Walmart SA Payments), I engineered systems handling 50K+ RPS with <2ms latency, built a closed e-wallet ecosystem for instant refunds, designed multi-reconciliation pipelines (Storm + Kafka), migrated services to async I/O frameworks, and deployed multi-VPC Kubernetes platforms from scratch. I’ve owned end-to-end delivery, mentored engineers, run on-call, and led design discussions across teams. Previously at Morgan Stanley, I worked on CVA risk/trading systems, rebuilding core components with off-heap memory, improving p99 latency by 40%, optimizing cache-local trade comparison algorithms, fixing deep concurrency issues, and cutting critical trade pipeline response time by 2500x. I automated ingestion pipelines using Kafka + rule-based validators, eliminating 80% manual ops work.
