Abhishek Singhal — VP of Engineering
I’m a Senior Backend Engineer (currently AVP) with 6+ years of experience designing, building, and scaling high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems — mainly in fintech and real-time data platforms where every millisecond counts. I thrive at the intersection of performance and reliability. From architecting microservices that process 500K+ events per second to designing resilient data pipelines handling billions of daily transactions, I love solving problems that demand robust, scalable engineering. My toolkit includes Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, ClickHouse, Cassandra, and cloud-native architectures. I enjoy shaping systems end-to-end — from designing RESTful APIs to optimizing database performance for real-time analytics. A few highlights I’m proud of: 🚀 Led the design and rollout of a low-latency trading platform, improving tick-to-trade times and handling peak loads with 99.99% uptime. 🗂️ Built and optimized distributed data pipelines that aggregate and process real-time market data streams across multiple regions. 👥 Mentored and led a team of engineers, fostering a culture of ownership and clean, efficient code. 🛠️ Modernized legacy systems into microservices, reducing deployment times and increasing scalability for rapid product iteration. I believe great engineering starts with understanding the ‘why’ behind the system, and I enjoy collaborating cross-functionally with product and data teams to build solutions that are not just technically solid but truly impactful. When I’m not deep in code, you’ll probably find me reading up on distributed systems, exploring the latest in cloud-native tech, or mentoring junior engineers who want to grow their backend chops. Always excited to connect with fellow engineers, product builders, or companies solving tough real-time problems. 📩 Let’s talk if you’re building next-gen low-latency platforms, scaling ambitious systems, or just want to swap ideas about designing for speed, scale, and resilience!
