Sri Venkat — Senior Software Engineer

I have spent the last five years building backend systems at scale and the last 16 months doing everything else. At Games24x7, I built a promo code engine that generates 10M+ codes in under 15 minutes, designed GST logic that saved the company 5 crore rupees annually, and led backend infrastructure for World Cup 2023 across payment, fund management, and gaming services. Then I left. I co-founded a food tech startup and took on marketing, brand design, investor outreach, and business operations from scratch. I sat in pitch rooms. I figured out how products live and die by decisions made nowhere near the codebase. I built AI automation workflows and a personal assistant tool called Reze. I got my hands into every corner of what building a company actually looks like. And now, I came back to engineering, more spatially aware than when I left. I now work at Paytm as a Senior Software Engineer on the lending team, building and maintaining risk flows and underwriting systems. The direction I am walking toward is system architecture. Designing the systems behind products that operate at real scale, understanding the trade-offs, and making the calls that matter. I believe that as AI takes over more of the execution layer, the people who can think clearly about systems will become more valuable, not less. I write about engineering, building things, and the non-linear path between. Follow if that interests you.
