Deepak Pathania is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience building scalable systems across payments, ad-tech, and developer tools, currently focused on AI-driven product work at DuckDuckGo. He has a strong track record at Automattic leading payments and developer-experience teams, where he shipped processor-agnostic payment systems, a self-serve billing tool, and cut developer toil and CI times dramatically. Earlier roles at Postman and GoTo sharpened his backend and product engineering chops—he designed offline-sync algorithms, a Postman publishing service, and integrated ML ranking into ad delivery. Deepak contributes to notable open-source projects like Postman’s collection and Newman, improving developer UX through documentation and CLI refactors. Comfortable oscillating between IC and management roles, he combines hands-on coding with systems thinking to reduce latency, boost observability, and automate operational workflows. Based in Delhi, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a knack for turning developer pain points into product features.
