Chethan S is a backend-focused SDE with ~5 years of hands-on experience building high-performance payment and infrastructure systems, currently at GoodScore after progressing from SDE intern to SDE at Juspay. He has driven core projects like HyperSwitch (an open-source Rust payments switch), refactoring API key management, integrating AWS SES, and adding process tracking for API key expiry. At Juspay he led development and mentoring on a dynamic routing service that reduced failed payments by ~15% and built simulation and observability tooling to validate routing choices. He combines strong CS fundamentals (B.Tech, 9.12 CGPA) with pragmatic engineering in Java, Rust, Python and JS, and experience across SQL/NoSQL and AWS. Earlier work includes optimizing computer-vision pipelines (YOLOv5s) to cut execution time by ~30%, showing he moves fluidly between algorithmic optimization and production systems. Known for shipping production-ready code, mentoring peers, and a penchant for refactoring messy domains into reliable, measurable services.
