Abhijnan Acharya is a backend and systems engineer with 8 years of experience building high-throughput, low-latency infrastructure for products at scale, currently on Xbox Advertising at Microsoft. He’s shipped distributed Node.js and Go services handling thousands of RPS and 30K+ DAU, architected replication-aware pipelines (Postgres, Kafka, ClickHouse), and launched GraphQL-driven APIs and LLM orchestration that automate thousands of tasks daily. Past roles at Amazon and startups show a pattern of measurable impact—reducing latency and timeouts, improving uptime to >99%, cutting LLM spend, and scaling auth and notification systems for tens of thousands of users.
