Piyush Rathod — Software Engineer

Hi, I’m Piyush Rathod — a Software Engineer with 3.5+ years of experience building backend systems and full-stack applications that scale. My work spans designing RESTful APIs in Java and C++, deploying cloud-native services on AWS and GCP, and driving performance through CI/CD automation, multithreading, and distributed architectures. At Vodafone and SUNY Binghamton, I’ve optimized backend pipelines, cut API latency by 28%, and improved system scalability by over 35%. 🔧 What I’ve Learned (and Live By): Clean architecture and clear ownership make good systems great. Cloud-native isn’t just buzz—it’s about resilience, observability, and automation. Speed matters, but not without reliability and testability. Curiosity is a tool. It’s how I ended up building NLP and LLM-powered tools just to understand how they work. 💡 What Drives Me: Tackling backend challenges at scale. Whether it’s deploying Kubernetes clusters, tuning SQL queries, or wiring up AI-backed services—I’m in my element when I’m solving real problems with code. Outside of work: You’ll often find me on a nature trail, at a networking event, or deep into a puzzle. I enjoy socializing with people who challenge my thinking, and I’m always looking for ways to spend time more innovatively. Whether it's reflecting on how to grow from the previous day or exploring new ideas, I believe every day is an opportunity to improve. Let’s connect—I’m always open to learning, building, and collaborating on systems that make a difference.
