Summary
Harshit Saini is a seasoned backend engineer with a decade of experience building high-throughput, data-intensive systems using Python, Go, Redis, MySQL and Kubernetes. He has designed microservices that serve millions of users and engineered Redis and MySQL setups to handle million-QPS and multi-million-query-hour workloads respectively, alongside implementing OAuth2/OpenIDConnect-based auth flows and custom SRP authentication. Comfortable across cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and infra tooling, he holds multiple Kubernetes and AWS certifications and has built multi-environment EKS clusters and ETL/data-warehouse solutions with BigQuery and Airflow. His work spans low-latency optimization (Cython/Numba), feature-serving via gRPC, and search/autocomplete with Elasticsearch, reflecting a rare blend of systems-level performance tuning and data engineering. Based in India and active as a self-employed senior engineer, he combines research-minded curiosity (image processing and ML-driven fraud detection) with hands-on production delivery.
