Abhilash Reddy Gajulapally — Software Engineer
I’m a Backend Engineer focused on building reliable, high-throughput systems that power real-world customer workflows. Currently an SDE-II at Zepto, I work on core backend services and distributed systems, where I’ve improved API latency by ~30%, reduced error rates by ~25%, and strengthened system resilience through better timeout handling, retries, and circuit-breaking patterns. I’ve also enhanced observability by designing Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards, cutting incident triage time by nearly 40%. Previously at Instabase, I worked on backend components and data pipelines with an emphasis on reliability, maintainability, and clean abstractions. Beyond backend infrastructure, I’m deeply interested in the intersection of scalable systems and AI/ML. I’ve explored LLM-powered services, prompt workflows, evaluation systems, and production-oriented model integrations — with a focus on how intelligent systems behave under real traffic and constraints. Tech stack: Go, gRPC, REST APIs, MongoDB, Kubernetes (EKS), AWS, Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic. I’m driven by building high-scale, fault-tolerant systems that handle complexity behind the scenes while delivering seamless user experiences — especially where backend infrastructure meets AI-powered capabilities.
