Summary
Santanu Paul is a senior software engineer with around 15 years of hands-on experience building cloud-native and embedded systems, now focused on serverless, event-driven architectures and API design. He has led backend engineering and product transformation efforts at companies like Cisco, ThoughtWorks and DocuSign, turning POCs into global SaaS offerings and designing the first fully serverless systems within business units. Comfortable across C/C++ for protocol and embedded work to .NET, Azure/AWS and NoSQL for modern cloud services, he blends low-level performance awareness with pragmatic distributed design. He routinely partners with security architects and product teams to ensure secure, production-grade systems and mentors engineering teams to adopt testing and agile practices. Based in Bengaluru, he’s a generalist who thrives on bridging deep protocol-level work with high-level cloud product design. A less obvious strength is his track record of accelerating delivery by creating tooling and automation (code generation, test frameworks) that reduced development time and improved early customer engagement.
