Senior🎓
Top SchoolDhananjay Balan is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with 13 years of experience building scalable, secure backend systems and developer tooling. He thrives on "behind the scenes" engineering—designing APIs, data pipelines and infrastructure that improve operations and developer productivity across SaaS and high-throughput platforms. At Cliqz he rewrote a system processing ~1TB/day and led security improvements like platform-wide TLS enforcement; at Plivo he re-architected latency-sensitive call routing across data centers. As a former team lead at Port Zero he combined technical decision-making with infrastructure and security strategy, and today contributes at Voltus on complex software problems. Comfortable with functional languages (Haskell) and systems work from his early open-source and GSoC projects, he brings a pragmatic focus on reliability, automation and measurable operational gains.
