Summary
Pawan Kumar is a pragmatic software engineer with 8 years of experience building scalable, reliable, and secure systems across fintech, developer tools, and HR/payroll domains. He has shipped production-grade infrastructure and user-facing features at Postman (API performance testing, scheduled runs, and uptime monitors) and built cross-border payroll sync and automation at Deel that reduced manual interventions by 80%. As a former co-founder and CTO, he designed multi-tenant event platforms with payments, QR ticketing, and financial accounting, giving him end-to-end product and ops empathy. His strengths lie in distributed systems, data structures, and performance engineering, and he balances architecture design with clean, maintainable code for production reliability. Based in Bengaluru, he pairs continuous learning—Stanford coursework in algorithms—with a bias for ownership and measurable impact on developer productivity and business operations. An understated detail: he repeatedly bridges low-level IPC and high-level UX, enabling complex backend workflows to surface as simple tools for end users.
