Surya Thakur — Senior Software Engineer
As a Senior Software Engineer passionate about building high-performance, cloud-native systems, I specialize in designing and scaling applications that serve millions of users globally. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve built and led engineering initiatives across GoDaddy, Probo, Filo, and Merkle—working on everything from real-time communication and data pipelines to automation and DevOps workflows. I love transforming 0→1 ideas into robust, production-grade products. My core stack includes Go, Node.js, React, TypeScript, and AWS, with deep experience in scalable system design, cloud architecture, and performance optimization. I’ve developed and optimized systems handling over 20M users and 1M+ requests per minute, integrating advanced observability through Elastic Stack, Prometheus, and Grafana. Beyond hands-on engineering, I mentor aspiring developers through IIT Delhi’s mentorship program and Topmate, helping engineers level up in fullstack development, system design, and career growth. I thrive at the intersection of architecture, product, and leadership—where innovation meets scale.
