Khushi R. — Software Engineer

As a Software Development Engineer with experience at leading organisations like Amazon, Bank of New York Mellon, and ClassPlus, I bring a strong foundation in building robust, scalable backend systems, streamlining operations through automation, and driving high-performance outcomes across distributed platforms. My work is rooted in solving complex engineering problems with clean, maintainable solutions that scale seamlessly and deliver measurable business value. From streamlining payment systems and removing manual dependencies, to architecting event-driven platforms and enhancing observability for critical services, I’ve taken ownership of core components that directly impact user experience and business continuity. I’ve also contributed to global open-source communities like Joomla through Google Summer of Code, where I led major enhancements to their onboarding workflows. I thrive in fast-paced environments where clean architecture, data-driven decisions, and collaboration drive innovation. My ability to identify performance gaps, automate manual processes, and ship high-quality, production-ready code has repeatedly translated into tangible results for teams and end-users.
