Senior🎓
Top SchoolSanthosh Balasa is a Principal SDE based in Singapore with 11+ years building scalable microservices, serverless systems, and data pipelines across AWS, Azure and on-prem big data stacks. He blends low-level systems expertise—from storage, Linux kernel modules and RAID—to cloud-native architectures using Python, C/C++, Terraform, Kubernetes and ClickHouse. At BrightEdge he leads backend design for high-performance data services and previously drove serverless infrastructure and cross-region data governance at Innovaccer and Wolters Kluwer. He holds an MEng from University of Limerick and has a patent pending on database pre-caching, reflecting a long-standing focus on database performance and indexing. Known for clean, non-repetitive code and pragmatic architecture, he often negotiates interface contracts between backend, UI and third-party vendors. Beyond typical stack depth, he pairs telecom and storage firmware experience with modern analytics tooling, giving him an unusual ability to optimize systems from device driver to dashboard.
