Summary
Soham Badheka is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Jose with 10 years of experience building backend services and full‑stack applications at GoFundMe and PayPal. He holds an M.S. in Software Engineering from San José State University and has a strong background in big data and distributed systems (Spark, Hadoop, Kafka) alongside practical cloud and container experience (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes). Comfortable across Java, Python, NodeJS and frontend frameworks, he has moved from QA into senior engineering roles while designing microservices, API automation, and database migrations at scale. A past runner-up in the Silicon Valley Innovation Challenge and a maker at heart (co‑founder of a civic startup and creator of an AngularJS learning blog), he pairs product-minded engineering with hands-on implementation. Despite a self-deprecating GitHub bio, his track record shows consistent delivery in high‑throughput payments and merchant systems.
