ANSHUMALI SHAW — Senior Software Engineer

Started with curiosity, built with code. I am a Computer Science graduate from Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology, Berhampore (CGPA: 8.80/10), where I fell in love with competitive programming. I qualified for ICPC Amritapuri Regionals and reached CodeChef 3-Star (rating 1623). Those problem-solving sessions taught me how to think in systems, not just solutions. During college, I built a Facial Recognition System that took our team to the finals of Bengalathon 2019 — my first real taste of shipping something under pressure. First steps into the industry After graduation, I joined PrepBytes as a DSA Doubt Mentor, helping 50+ engineering students crack product-based company interviews. Teaching others DSA made me sharper — you truly understand something only when you can explain it simply. Skills built: Data Structures, Algorithms, Problem Solving, Communication redBus — where I grew the most I joined redBus India in June 2022 as an SDET. Starting in quality engineering meant I had to understand every system deeply before I could test it. I learned Java, Kafka, and distributed systems not from tutorials, but from debugging production pipelines under pressure. Skills built: Java, Apache Kafka, Apache Storm, Test Automation, Microservice Testing, System Design Within months I moved to Software Engineer, and then to Senior Software Engineer — each step driven by ownership, not just tenure. What I have shipped at redBus Over 3.5 years, I have worked on systems that power millions of bus journeys daily. Redesigned a fare sync architecture, cutting failures by 95% and saving 20 hours of manual work per week Built an anomaly detection module screening 400,000+ pricing records per day Delivered an onboarding platform that scaled services from 500 to 2,500+ Built an LLM evaluation framework that cut model testing from 3 weeks to 8 hours Received the Trailblazer Award twice, placing among the top performers in redBus engineering Skills built: Distributed Systems, Event-driven Architecture, Python, XGBoost, LLM Evaluation, AWS, Docker, CI/CD, Redis, MongoDB, REST APIs, gRPC, High Availability What drives me I care deeply about systems that scale, code that ships, and teams that grow together. I write about engineering on Medium, stay sharp on CodeChef, and still mentor students on PrepBytes because giving back to the community matters to me. If you are building hard backend problems — distributed systems, pricing engines, data pipelines — I would love to connect. shaw.anshu@gmail.com | github.com/bagofcodes | medium.com/@shaw.anshu
