Kanchan Aswani — Software Engineer
💡 Senior Backend Engineer | Scalable System Design | Project Ownership | Production Stability A results-driven backend engineer with 10+ years of experience delivering large-scale, business-critical systems across ad tech and fintech domains. At Loblaw, I owned and led delivery of complex backend projects that directly impacted system reliability, developer efficiency, and business uptime: 🚀 Delivered end-to-end fixes for high-priority issues, including critical race conditions, budgeting logic failures, and deployment regressions—unblocking releases and restoring production stability within tight timelines. 🔧 Reduced CI pipeline failures by 50% by resolving concurrency and test isolation issues, saving substantial development effort. 📉 Cut logging costs by $500/month through configurable log truncation, dynamic log levels, and GitLab automation. ✅ Enhanced deployment visibility by improving GitLab environments—eliminating manual tracking and reducing release friction. 🤝 Led release recoveries and incident response, coordinating with engineering, QA, and SRE for swift rollbacks and re-releases. At Arcesium, I contributed to mission-critical data pipelines for elite financial institutions, delivering features across ingestion, enrichment, and reporting layers while supporting SLAs in a highly regulated environment. I bring a mindset of ownership, clarity, and delivery—from root cause to resolution, from architecture to deployment. • Independent & Analytical: I thrive in autonomous environments, applying problem-solving skills to complex challenges. • Collaborative Leadership: I work closely with upper management to define software requirements and translate them into actionable technical specifications. • Efficient Project Management: I effectively balance priorities and ensure timely execution across the software development lifecycle. • Cross-Functional Alignment: I foster collaboration with internal teams and vendors to resolve issues, enhance products, and drive high-quality software delivery.
