Sanchita Kasat — Software Engineer
I graduated from VNIT Nagpur carrying far more than a degree - I left with leadership experiences, strong discipline from sports, and the confidence to build things from scratch. Professionally, I work as an SDE-2 building high-scale backend systems in fintech. At Kotak, I helped scale a latency-critical omnichannel communication platform from 10 requests/min to 25M+ requests/day, architecting distributed microservices on AWS and Kubernetes. I’ve worked on intelligent vendor routing systems, reduced communication costs by ~80% through in-house infrastructure, and launched push-based OTP systems delivering ~150ms latency (significantly faster than traditional SMS). Before that at Citi, I worked on automation systems for financial reconciliation and cloud archival workflows - building systems that reduce manual effort and improve operational reliability. I enjoy building systems where scale, reliability, and performance matter. I also believe a firm handshake and a genuine smile can start meaningful conversations — in engineering and beyond. Always open to solving interesting problems.
