About

I’m Varisha Rashid, a passionate Software Engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack development, currently working at Rippling as an SDE-1. I enjoy building scalable systems and clean APIs, and have a growing interest in distributed computing and cloud-native applications. Over the past few years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing teams across Nielsen, Scaler, Tranzact, and other organizations where I contributed to projects ranging from data pipeline optimizations and Lambda-based microservices to feature-rich admin panels and real-time communication systems. ⚙️ Technologies I work with: Python, JavaScript, SQL | AWS (Lambda, EMR, S3, Athena) | Apache Airflow, Apache Spark | React.js, Node.js, Vue.js, Django | MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB 💡 Highlights: - Automated EMR cluster cleanups and S3 data purging at Nielsen, improving cost and operational efficiency. - Resolved 15+ critical SAST vulnerabilities, making the codebase significantly more secure and compliant. - Built real-time pitch recommendation tools and Slack automation features at Scaler to streamline sales ops. - Migrated key frontend systems at Tranzact to Vue3 and improved performance by over 25%. - Led development of a full-fledged cab booking platform with cost estimation and smart routing. 🏆 Some Wins: - Finalist at NetApp Women Innovathon 2023 (among 1400+ teams) - Global Rank 112/1730 in Project Her 1.0 by CodeChef - Solved 300+ Leetcode problems – always up for a good challenge! Whether it's building performant backend systems, diving deep into cloud architecture, or solving interesting product problems, I love the process of learning and shipping value.
