Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVenugopal Balaji is a Lead Software Engineer with eight years of full-stack experience, currently driving product and platform improvements at Vivpro in Jersey City. As a founding engineer he rebuilt a legacy React app, grew subscribers nearly tenfold in three months, and cut multiple API response times from over 10s to ~2s through targeted backend optimizations. He designs and automates CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI), implements robust ETL and search solutions with Python and ElasticSearch, and has deep experience in React performance tuning and bundle-size reduction. His work spans microservices, Docker/ECS deployments, and data curation pipelines that improved data quality and reporting for users. Trained with a CS master’s from Stevens and hands-on cloud internships, he blends academic rigor with pragmatic startup execution. Less obvious: he pairs product-minded engineering with attention to developer workflows, using Git hooks and automated checks to keep teams shipping reliably.
