Pankaj Tanwar is a Lead Software Engineer with eight years of experience building and scaling backend systems, currently leading the backend team for 1Weather at InMobi serving 40M+ MAUs. He specializes in databases, distributed systems, and platform thinking, and has driven 0→1 product journeys and core infra ownership across fintech, big data, and ad-tech. At Refyne and Paisabazaar he architected high-throughput payout, lending, and bureau systems that now handle thousands of crores and critical real-time workloads with industry-grade uptime. He writes a technical blog read by 300K+ people, has shipped 80+ open-source side projects, and builds quirky, practical tools like an AI “Cringe Guard” and custom personal trackers. Known for improving developer productivity and reliability, he also created organization-wide tooling such as a centralized linter, automated recon, and cluster health automation that cut costs and toil. Based in Bengaluru, he combines systems-first engineering with a penchant for quantifying life — and occasionally name-checking his three cats, Kafka, Docker, and Mango.
