Ankush Khanna is a Software Engineer III based in New Delhi with eight years of experience building high-performance backend systems and developer-facing tooling across companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Zomato and Paytm. He has a strong foundation in algorithms and systems from an M.Sc. in Computer Science and a passion for competitive programming and mathematics, which shows in pragmatic designs that reduce latency and operational load (e.g., a caching mechanism that cut API latency by ~93% and ElasticSearch monitors that reduced tickets by 43%). Ankush has shipped end-to-end services and infra—CDK pipelines, Java Spring APIs, intelligent proxy routing, and payment reconciliation frameworks—that measurably improved reliability and business metrics. He also brings product-minded thinking to search and discovery and festival-driven feature reuse, and has led cross-team design reviews and documentation efforts. Outside of product work, he’s a longtime community builder from college leadership roles running coding and robotics clubs, indicating strong mentorship and event-building experience.
