Hi, I'm Sachin Reddy Kunta, a backend engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable microservices, APIs, and data pipelines for high-traffic gaming and edtech applications. I specialize in Node.js and Python, and I work with cloud-native architectures on AWS and GCP. I enjoy containerization, CI/CD, and performance tuning to deliver low-latency, resilient systems. I recently completed my MS in Computer Engineering from NYU, focusing on databases, network security, and ML-driven solutions. I love collaborating with cross-functional teams to migrate monoliths to microservices and to implement modern tooling like Kafka, gRPC, and Terraform that enable reliable, scalable platforms.

Work Experience

Software Engineer at Mobile Premier League
July 31, 2023 - July 31, 2023
Architected scalable Node.js microservices with gRPC for payments and fraud detection, handling 10M+ daily users; integrated PostgreSQL and Redis for caching, reducing latency by 30% during peak loads; optimized database queries, indexing, and caching mechanisms; executed zero-downtime migrations, boosting throughput and minimizing downtime in high-availability environments. Developed React/Node.js dashboards and Spark-based ETL pipelines for refund processing and identity verification, automating workflows to save 20+ engineering hours weekly. Migrated monolithic systems to microservices and micro-frontends, enhancing deployment frequency by 70% using Docker and CI/CD pipelines for independent squad releases. Configured Dockerized environments and observability with Grafana/CloudWatch, slashing onboarding time by 50% and accelerating incident resolution through real-time metrics.
Software Engineering Intern (Backend Development) at Masai School
May 31, 2021 - May 31, 2021
Led backend development for an online assessment platform using Node.js, Next.js, and PostgreSQL; implemented secure authentication and real-time code execution, supporting 10,000+ daily interactions with 99.9% uptime. Engineered a Redis-backed leaderboard and contest system to manage thousands of submissions; optimized queries for performance, ensuring scalable and reliable evaluation under load. Integrated third-party APIs for code compilation and execution in isolated environments, enhancing security and reducing execution failures by 40% through error-handling middleware. Collaborated with frontend teams to define RESTful endpoints and GraphQL schemas, improving API response times by 25%. Conducted unit and integration testing with Jest, achieving 90% code coverage and identifying potential bottlenecks before production deployment. Documented API specifications using Swagger and contributed to CI/CD setup with GitHub Actions, streamlining the release process for faster iterations.
