Senior🎓
Top SchoolAjay Divakaran is a Staff Software Engineer based in London with roughly 12–16 years of hands‑on experience designing, building and operating web transactional systems ranging from monoliths to microservices. He has a proven track record of building systems from the ground up and re-architecting and scaling existing platforms across domains including retail, automotive, government digitalisation and telecoms. At ThoughtWorks he worked as a technical lead on long-running, high-impact engagements and now brings that consultancy-honed pragmatism to his current role at NewStore. Technically strong in APIs, messaging, databases, observability and resilience, he pairs deep system design skills with a collaborative approach that bridges product and engineering.
