Pratham Singhal — Platform Engineer

I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling distributed systems, internal platforms, and cloud-native applications across AWS, GCP, and Azure. I enjoy working at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and developer experience—solving complex problems that help engineering teams move faster with reliability and confidence. At Cvent, I’ve architected an Internal Developer Platform using AWS CDK, CloudFormation stacks, and reusable IaC modules adopted across multiple teams. This work streamlined infrastructure provisioning, improved consistency, reduced manual operations by 25%, and strengthened governance by implementing fine-grained IAM and RBAC patterns. I also engineered large-scale AWS solutions involving S3, RDS (Aurora), DynamoDB, Lambda, ECS, Fargate, Secrets Manager, and ElastiCache—ensuring secure multi-account data flows, high availability, and strong operational guardrails. On the application side, I’ve built high-performance microservices and APIs using Java, TypeScript, and Go, applying SOLID principles, microservices design patterns, and modern integrations using REST and gRPC. I enjoy creating clean architecture foundations that scale—whether building event-driven components, optimizing execution paths, or simplifying onboarding for new teams. I’ve also improved CI/CD reliability by optimizing monorepo pipelines with Nx (achieving up to 60% faster builds) and GitOps deployments using ArgoCD, along with past experience automating delivery with Jenkins and GitLab CI. My work on testing infrastructure modernization—migrating legacy systems into Kubernetes—boosted scalability by 70% and reduced execution times significantly. I care deeply about observability and quality. Using Datadog, CloudWatch, and structured logging, I’ve improved service reliability, reduced MTTR, and helped teams build a stronger operational culture. I enjoy diving into production issues just as much as designing architecture diagrams. Above all, I thrive in roles where I can own a problem end-to-end—architecture, coding, infrastructure automation, deployments, monitoring, and continuous improvement. I’m passionate about platform engineering, cloud-native development, distributed systems, and crafting tools that empower teams to do their best work. If you’re building scalable systems, internal platforms, or cloud-driven products—and looking for someone who combines deep technical expertise with practical engineering instincts—I’d love to connect

Software Development Engineer 2

May 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 1 mo · Gurugram · Hybrid

Working across the platform layer of a 90+ microservice product — backend systems, event-driven architecture, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling for 45+ teams.
▸ Architected async APIs and event-driven messaging on AWS SQS and AWS EventBridge using AsyncAPI contract-first spec — defined message schemas and Pub/Sub channel contracts before any service code was written. Kept 50+ services decoupled and cut the synchronous bottlenecks causing latency spikes.
▸ Built a Serverless Metadata Service on VPC Lattice, Lambda, and DynamoDB. Did the NoSQL access pattern modelling and async-first data flow design upfront so 50+ services read from one consistent source.
▸ Delivered an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) using AWS CDK & CloudFormation with reusable IaC modules — enforcing IAM & RBAC governance across 40+ AWS accounts, cutting unauthorized access by 50% and manual operational overhead by 25%.
▸ Cut monorepo CI/CD build times by 60% using Nx caching and ArgoCD GitOps. PNPM and Maven consolidation added another 40% speedup — five teams stopped waiting on builds.
▸ Building an Agentic AI system where LLM tool-use agents triage and resolve internal platform support tickets — reducing manual routing and bringing down MTTR for human-in-the-loop incidents on the IDP.
▸ Engineered zero-downtime Aurora RDS failover strategy (Provisioned → Serverless) via database modelling, high-availability architecture patterns, and org-wide operational runbooks — ensuring resilience under peak-traffic load.
▸ Wrote the NestJS microservice blueprints new services start from — DDD, SOLID, microservices design patterns. Also working with Next.js and Spring Boot for the platform's internal tooling layer.
▸ Set up S3 Cross-Account Replication across 40+ AWS accounts for secure data federation. Audited cloud resource usage org-wide — right-sizing and serverless migration opportunities brought the cloud bill down 12%.
