Senior🎓
Top SchoolGaganpreet Arora is a seasoned software engineer and founder with 14 years of experience building scalable, secure backend systems and DevOps automation. Based in Amsterdam, he co-founded DigiUsher to tackle cloud, data and AI/ML usage-cost problems and also runs No Cookie Analytics, an open-source, privacy-first analytics service. He has a strong track record of modernizing legacy platforms—migrating long-lived Python 2 codebases to Python 3, incrementally moving APIs to FastAPI, and improving performance for high-traffic consumer sites. As a technical lead and mentor he has grown engineering teams, improved conversion and response times through schema and query optimizations, and implemented robust CI/CD and deployment strategies across Docker, Kubernetes and cloud providers. He contributes to open-source projects like DuckDuckGo’s fathead instant-answers, demonstrating a blend of front-end parsing work and backend file-system logic. Pragmatic and product-focused, he pairs hands-on engineering with entrepreneurial instincts to deliver measurable cost, performance and privacy outcomes.
