Top SchoolSaagar Mahadev is a backend developer and UCLA Computer Science student with eight years of hands-on experience building scalable services and full-stack features for startups and tech giants. He has delivered production Java APIs, end-to-end tracing, and UI automation at Amazon that cut manual effort and sped up debugging, and now applies that systems-first approach at Wealthfront. Comfortable across Python, Java, C++, NodeJS, and modern front-end stacks, he pairs API and schema design with practical observability (CloudWatch-integrated tooling and graph visualizations) to make systems more debuggable and cost-effective. Past projects include a delivery robot service for UCLA and a nutrition tracker, and he has shipped NFT minting and performance improvements in startup work—evidence of both product sensibility and performance-minded engineering. An Eagle Scout and hackathon winner, he brings disciplined problem-solving and a bias toward automation and reuse that consistently boosts team productivity.
