Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAkshit Sahani is a pragmatic full-stack Software Engineer II with 9 years of experience building and operating scalable web platforms, currently at Instacart after a multi-year tenure driving major initiatives at Loblaw Digital. He’s delivered measurable impact—from a 40x auth performance improvement and 26% faster CI/CD to a 15% revenue boost via demo environments—while owning observability, SSO migrations, and platform-wide tracing efforts. Comfortable across Ruby/Rails, Node/Next.js, React, Postgres, Redis and cloud tooling, he blends hands-on implementation with mentoring and occasional engineering management. A former genetics student who taught himself an extra language as an adult, he brings analytical rigor and a mathematician’s curiosity to product problems. Outside work he stays disciplined through squash, swimming and dance, a habit that mirrors his focus on continuous improvement.
