Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShivam Kushwaha is a senior software engineer based in Bengaluru with 8 years of experience designing high-performance, cost-efficient distributed systems that handle millions of requests per second. He has driven business-critical infrastructure at scale—most notably architecting a bot-mitigation platform at Uber that processed 1M+ RPS, saved over $500K monthly, and delivered real-time detection with near-zero false positives. Shivam pairs strong CS fundamentals in distributed systems, networking, and HPC with hands-on optimization work, having cut latencies by up to 60% and halved operating costs on legacy services. His background spans low-level C++/CUDA HPC engines and large-scale streaming pipelines, giving him uncommon fluency across the stack from hardware-accelerated compute to real-time analytics. Known for pragmatic trade-offs, he often blends algorithmic detection with business metrics to reduce false positives and real damage to product metrics. He holds a BTech in Computer Science and consistently focuses on measurable impact when moving systems from prototype to production.
