Top SchoolSouma Ghosh is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years’ experience building high-performance, reliable backend systems across enterprise and startup environments. Currently at Visa and formerly at Oracle, he strengthened core database connectivity and scalability—implementing async connection pooling that enabled 3× throughput and features in MySQL Connector/Python that improved framework compatibility for Django and SQLAlchemy. He has a strong record in designing systems for scale, from a B2B scholarship platform handling 1M+ peak daily requests to engineering low-latency, secure enterprise features like OpenID Connect and query timeouts. A self-taught programmer who holds a BE in Computer Science, Souma combines deep server-side expertise (Python, Redis, PostgreSQL, Kafka) with a pragmatic focus on developer experience and measurable performance gains. He enjoys tackling real-world bottlenecks and experimenting with side projects, often seeking subtle optimizations such as minimizing serialized query packet size to shave latency. Based in Bengaluru, he brings a blend of hands-on implementation and system-architecture thinking suited for large-scale, mission-critical services.
