Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSmitesh Sawant is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Diego with 10 years of experience building backend systems, RESTful APIs, ETL pipelines, and data-driven simulations. He has delivered production services across payments, telehealth, and transportation finance—moving systems from monoliths to microservices and introducing async architectures with Kafka, Celery, and gRPC. Comfortable across Python, JavaScript, and Java, he has a track record of integrating with EHRs and banking rails, designing event-driven money movement, and automating operational tooling. His work blends pragmatic engineering (Django/DRF, Flask/FastAPI, PostgreSQL) with devops ownership on AWS, and he pairs a master’s in computer science with hands-on migration and refactor projects that improve extensibility and observability. A detail that often surprises teammates: he routinely bridges product and support needs by building internal admin tools that materially reduce friction for clinical and operations staff.
