Hi, I’m Hazel Mahajan, a software engineer specializing in backend systems. I design REST APIs, data models, and event-driven architectures, with hands-on experience in Java, Python, Go, Kafka, AWS, and Docker. I enjoy taking features end-to-end—from design through debugging in production—and collaborating across cross-functional teams. I recently completed an MS in Computer Science from the University at Buffalo and hold a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology. I’m open to relocation and excited to contribute to high-impact projects that improve reliability, scalability, and developer velocity.
