Nishant Agrawal — Software Engineer
I’m a backend-focused Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience in building scalable, reliable, and high-impact systems in large consumer-facing platforms. Currently at Expedia Group, I work on backend systems that power the checkout experience, where performance, correctness, and reliability directly impact revenue. I’ve contributed to features that improved booking conversion rates by up to 1.7%, and I’ve owned critical checkout flows end-to-end during international launches (Saudi Arabia & UAE), resolving complex issues such as support for multi-business model flight bookings, under tight timelines. Previously at PayPal, I built backend services from scratch, including an Email Notification Service used to notify users based on system actions. I developed multiple Spring Boot REST APIs, integrated GitHub webhooks for CI/CD workflows, and helped establish automated integration testing using an in-house Selenium-based framework. My engineering strengths lie in Java, microservices, and distributed systems, with a strong foundation in concurrency, system design, and backend architecture. I enjoy owning problems end-to-end, collaborating across teams, and building systems that operate reliably at scale. I’m particularly interested in modern backend systems and applied GenAI, especially where AI capabilities intersect with platform reliability, performance, and real-world user impact.
