Summary
Abhishek Handa is a Senior Programmer based in Toronto with 9 years of experience designing and delivering reliable, high-performance backend systems across finance, ad tech, and cloud-native environments. He’s shipped production services and automation at organizations ranging from Samsung and Turvo to PwC, Coveo, Dailyhunt and SAP, with strong hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Docker, and observability stacks like ELK and Prometheus. His recent work automating security and compliance scans and enforcing API design constraints shows a practical focus on developer experience and secure, auditable pipelines. Abhishek combines systems thinking (optimized queries, pagination, secrets management) with operational pragmatism—building schedulers, report delivery platforms, and GDPR workflows that balance performance and compliance. He holds an MEng in Applied Computer Science from Concordia and a top-ranked BE from Thapar, and prefers approaching problems by moving common abstractions down the stack to reduce redundancy. Outside of work he’s guided teams on failover, logging and monitoring best practices, a detail that often distinguishes robust launches from fragile ones.
