Summary
Kaushik Mandal is a Lead Software Engineer based in Chicago with nearly a decade of experience designing and modernizing cloud-native backend systems for large enterprises. He has driven microservices and migration efforts at EPAM across clients like Grainger, Goldman Sachs and Cigna, often working on-site to lead feature design, risk remediation, and offshore teams. His background spans payment processing, internationalization, and AWS/Azure integrations, and he has a track record of replacing legacy, high-risk platforms with scalable architectures. Kaushik pairs hands-on development (including batch systems, translation and feedback services, and ICHRA processing) with practical engineering culture improvements that raised code quality and delivery velocity. A pragmatic problem-solver, he also brings a hacker’s persistence—summed up by his GitHub motto “there is no royal road to success”—to complex enterprise challenges.
