About

👋 Welcome to my LinkedIn Profile! I'm Divyanshu Raj, a passionate Backend Software Developer currently contributing at Microsoft. 💼 At Microsoft, I am part of the Cassandra team under CosmosDB, where I focus on building features to enhance the distributed database system Cassandra. Previously, I worked on the Windows Licensing team, further strengthening my skills in distributed systems and large-scale software solutions. 📈 Before joining Microsoft, I worked at Nobroker.com, where I contributed to high-impact projects that enhanced both user engagement and system performance. I developed TEJAS, a Java-based microservice that ensured seamless synchronization between an online forum and email threads, boosting user interaction. Additionally, I implemented gRPC infrastructure, reducing CPU usage costs and increasing main listing page speed by 10%. My technical stack includes Java, Spring, Hibernate, ELK, Docker, Redis, Kafka, Apache Thrift, gRPC, and GMAIL API. 🚀 Outside of work, I love discussing software products, startups, novels (📘 I’m always on the lookout for a good read), and diving into the world of uncertain conclusions. Let's connect and explore these topics together!

At Microsoft, I work on building highly available managed instances of Apache Cassandra for Azure’s database offerings — systems where every second of downtime can cost enterprises millions. I’m also developing Dr. Cassandra, an AI agent designed to autonomously detect and resolve production incidents, aiming to enhance reliability and uptime for large-scale distributed database deployments.

During my Google Summer of Code project, I upgraded the p5.sound library by implementing the ECMAScript5 Module System, cutting load time by 25%.
I also developed a headless testing setup, reducing test time by 45%, and transitioned the library to the AudioWorklet framework, which improved audio quality and lowered CPU usage by 30%.
These improvements greatly enhanced the performance for over 700,000 users.
