Shikhar Gupta is a pragmatic software engineer with about six years of hands-on experience building production-grade, scalable systems across the stack, currently at 6sense after driving core features for the Namma Yatri open mobility platform. He specializes in backend engineering—designing RESTful APIs, optimizing performance, and ensuring reliability in distributed systems—while comfortable in Golang, TypeScript, Java, JavaScript and functional languages like PureScript and Haskell. His work at Namma Yatri delivered measurable business impact (multi-thousand daily ride improvements, lower cancellation rates, and faster map rendering), and he has a track record of pragmatic optimizations such as 60% API runtime reduction in fintech. Equally at home with high-level architecture (HLD) and low-level design (LLD), he enjoys crafting maintainable systems and bridging legacy integrations like ONDC with modern services. Based in Uttar Pradesh, he combines engineering rigor with a knack for product-focused, data-informed improvements that directly improve user experiences.
