Saran Chockan is a versatile software engineer with 8 years of experience building high-availability backend systems, real-time streaming pipelines, and full-stack applications at companies like Palantir, Lyft, and Anthropic. He has led architecture and hands-on development for mission-critical enterprise services—re-architecting a $100M+/yr backend for scalability and delivering a global Pricing Governance Engine used across 120+ countries. Technically fluent in Java, Python, Go, TypeScript, React, Apache Beam and AWS, he has shipped zero-to-one LLM tools and AI coding assistants that improve developer productivity. At Lyft he increased real-time data parity 4x while halving infrastructure costs, and earlier he founded a debate-strategy app that reached 25,000+ downloads, showing a knack for product-focused engineering. Based in New York and a CS graduate from UT Austin, he pairs rigorous system design with curiosity—off-hours he competes in blitz chess and reads post-modernist philosophy, a detail that hints at both strategic thinking and unconventional perspectives.
