Saswata Ghosh — Software Engineer
I’m a Software Development Engineer (SDE-2 @ Avalara; ex-Informatica) with 2+ years of experience building scalable, low-latency platforms, distributed systems, and applied GenAI solutions. My focus is on designing and delivering high-quality backend services and APIs that balance performance, security, and maintainability. At Avalara, I engineered IAM microservices that achieved ~0.9 ms response latency, refactored authentication into a Redis-backed REST architecture that enabled MFA/TOTP/SAML while reducing login latency by 35%, and built GenAI features using LangChain, LangGraph, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). I also led a Sumologic→ELK migration that cut analytics latency by 40% and saved ~$60K annually. Previously at Informatica, I contributed to large-scale API lifecycle capabilities impacting 1M+ assets, authored zero-downtime migration scripts, and resolved distributed systems challenges like race conditions, scaling bottlenecks, and data consistency issues. Across roles, I’ve delivered end-to-end solutions with Java, Python, C#, Spring Boot, ASP.NET, Kafka, Redis, MySQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Docker, Terraform, and CI/CD on AWS, Azure, and GCP. I care deeply about clear design, robust testing, and building systems that are both reliable and maintainable. Recognition includes a top-3 finish in the Avalara Global Hackathon, solving 800+ LeetCode problems (top-10% worldwide), and publishing a peer-reviewed IEEE paper. I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science (CGPA: 9.16/10), with strong foundations in algorithms, networking, security, and system architecture. I’m now looking for SDE-II/III, Backend, Platform, Distributed Systems, or Applied GenAI/ML Infrastructure roles (onsite or remote), where I can design, build, and scale secure, reliable web systems while driving real business impact.
