Summary
Kumar Saptam is a Lead Software Engineer with seven years of experience building reliable, performance-focused systems for startups and products that handle sensitive business flows like billing and payments. A self-taught full-stack developer who began coding at ten, he blends deep systems knowledge—including occasional assembly work for critical performance—with practical leadership as a former CTO and team lead. He favors pragmatic clarity over syntactic sugar, enjoys working across Go, C++, Rust and JavaScript, and cares about correctness, security, and edge cases. Kumar has hands-on experience managing production outages, infrastructure challenges, and the discipline required to protect users’ money and privacy. Based in Prayagraj, India, he still ships side projects (including a custom text editor) and brings the same curiosity that first hooked him to every engineering decision.
